The Pākaiahi mushroom (Ganoderma applanatum) is a treasured taonga of Aotearoa. Traditionally respected in rongoā Māori, it has long been valued as a source of strength, resilience, and connection.
 
Known as the ‘firestarter,’ this revered fungus was once carried through the forest to keep embers alive, symbolising endurance, focus, and the mana of the chosen ones. Today, Pākaiahi is honoured as a tonic of vitality and balance, crafted here as a double-extracted tincture.
