Wildcrafted Fairy Ring Mushroom CO2 Total Extract | Marasmius Oreades

iscover the fascinating world of wild mushrooms with Wildcrafted Mushroom CO₂ Total Extract (Marasmius oreades), a distinctive fungal extract inspired by the beauty, complexity, and natural chemistry of woodland and meadow ecosystems.

Commonly known as the Fairy Ring Mushroom, Fairy Ring Champignon, or Scotch Bonnet, Marasmius oreades is a small, remarkable mushroom recognized for its delicate appearance and its unusual tendency to grow in circular formations known as fairy rings.

Found naturally in grassy meadows, pastures, and open landscapes, this fascinating species has attracted attention for its ecological significance, culinary history, and diverse naturally occurring fungal compounds.

Produced using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, this specialty botanical ingredient offers an intriguing addition to the world of natural cosmetic ingredients, artisanal perfumery, and experimental botanical formulations.

Unlike conventional mushroom powders or water-based extracts, a CO₂ total extract is designed to recover selected lipophilic and other CO₂-soluble constituents from fungal material. Its final composition depends on the extraction pressure, temperature, raw material, and processing conditions.

Wildcrafted Mushroom CO₂ Total Extract is particularly appealing to formulators seeking unusual botanical materials, nature-inspired fragrance ingredients, and distinctive mushroom-derived ingredients for advanced cosmetic research.
