Hi all. First time on the forum and thank you for accepting me.
Ok I grow medicinal mushrooms and make tinctures with them but I am after a new and better way to make them. I use a butter machine but not happy with end product and would like to upgrade to something else to produce a better end product. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

What makes you think your target compounds are soluble in butter?
Which could also be phrased: what compounds are you targeting with that magic butter machine?
Or even: could you be specific with the genera involved?
I’m not a mycologist, but “fat soluble” secondary metabolites and fungi don’t go hand in hand in my book. I’m suspicious your choice of extraction solvent is misinformed
Edit:
ok, so it turns out folks are using a magic butter machine to perform their hot WATER infusions.eg Medicinal Mushroom Tincture: Recipe for Double Extraction

Just don’t let it sit long after preparation because it has a short shelf-life.
