You’re standing in your kitchen on a Tuesday night that feels suspiciously like a Sunday afternoon, because somehow the week already feels long and you’re not entirely sure how. You want something grounding, something indulgent, something ceremonious even, but without the fuss of brewing thirteen herbs or performing interpretive dance over your diffuser. You want something simple, but intentional. Something that feels a little luxurious, but also curious, a little wild but still rooted in science.

This is where Toadwood Labs walks in like a very clever friend who somehow knows exactly what you need before you say it.

Because at Toadwood Labs, nothing is ordinary. And certainly nothing is boring. From the founder’s story to the products themselves, everything here is touched by a fantastic mix of precision, creativity, and a love for the things that help us feel just a little more like ourselves. Sometimes a lot more.

Before we get into the Chocolate Bar (yes, the one you’re probably already thinking about ordering), or the Liquid Culture (yes, the one that makes you feel like a mad scientist in the most delightful way), you need a little context. They didn’t just pop up like a mushroom on a damp log out of nowhere. There is a story here, and it’s one worth telling.

Welcome To the World of Toadwood Labs

Imagine a former United States Marine stepping away from a life of intensity, structure, and service, stepping instead into the world of mycology, neurosciences, individualized healing, and the exploration of natural compounds with big potential. Not only stepping into it, but building one of the largest mycological banks in the Western United States along the way.

That’s Sean Harrie, the mind behind the brand.

Founded in 2020 in the Pacific Northwest and growing from Portland outward, Toadwood Labs is more than a laboratory. It’s a community, a hub, a creative engine, a research institution, a collaborator with healers and everyday people alike. It’s a place where artistry and science shake hands. Where fungi aren’t just studied; they’re celebrated. Where products aren’t just created; they’re cultivated.

And the products? Let’s just say if Willy Wonka and a neuroscience researcher had a child who was really into chocolate, fungi, precision, and wellness, this would be their pride and joy.

Today, we’re focusing on two stars of the show:

a. The Toadwood Labs Chocolate Bar
b. The Do-It-Yourself Liquid Culture

Two characters with very different personalities, but both undeniably part of the same quirky, brilliant family.

The Chocolate Bar That Doesn’t Just Sit There Looking Pretty

Let’s start with the Chocolate Bar, because honestly, how could we not?

Chocolate is already a universal language. But Toadwood Labs elevates it into something that feels indulgent, thoughtful, and purposeful. This is not a mass-produced bar that sits on a shelf collecting sadness. This is luxurious, small batch, handmade, premium chocolate designed by people who understand both flavor and intention.

There’s an elegance to it. A deliberate craftsmanship.

Each bar is infused with precision. Not because someone in the back room whispered affirmations over it (although who knows, maybe they do), but because Toadwood Labs specializes in the balance between science and sensory experience. They understand how compounds interact. They understand consistency and quality. And they understand that chocolate should feel like a little ceremony every time you unwrap it.

Picture this:
You break off a square. It’s glossy, it snaps, it smells like something you once had in a dream. It tastes rich but also clean. Just the right amount of indulgence. Not a sugar bomb, not a rushed afterthought, but an invitation.

Not the kind you ignore.

The Chocolate Bar is crafted for people who love thoughtful experiences. People who appreciate when food has meaning, whether that meaning is pleasure, grounding, curiosity, or creativity.

And let’s be honest: having a bar like this in your cupboard feels like owning fine jewelry. Or high-quality linen. Or a really good pen that writes softly but with purpose.

The bar is also ethically produced, which matters. It’s made with intention. It’s made in small batches, so nothing feels impersonal. It’s made by a team that actually cares about what they’re putting into the world.

And I’ll tell you a secret: this bar has personality.
The kind that whispers, “Do something good for yourself today.”
And then also whispers, “Also, you deserve chocolate. Specifically, this one.”

The Liquid Culture That Makes You Feel Like A Genius In Your Own Home Lab

Now let’s talk Liquid Culture.

If the chocolate bar is the elegant, artistic soul of the family, the Liquid Culture is the wildly practical, endlessly fascinating sibling who knows how to fix anything, grow anything, and build anything.

This little jar is like getting a backstage pass to the world of mycology. Whether you’re a hobbyist, researcher, grower, or just an enthusiast who loves learning how nature works, this is where the magic of fungi reveals itself.

The Do-It-Yourself Liquid Culture is designed for people who love hands-on learning. People who want to understand the process, take part in creation, and watch something come to life. It’s science you can hold. Science you can learn from. Science that feels personal, because you are the one doing the work.

And Toadwood Labs doesn’t just hand this off to you with a shrug. Their entire ethos is education, understanding, and responsible exploration. They want people to learn. They want people to grow (literally and figuratively). They want people to have safe, informed, empowering experiences.

When you bring home a jar of Liquid Culture, you’re joining a lineage of creators, researchers, healers, hobbyists, and curious souls who simply want to know more about the world beneath our feet.

It’s approachable. It’s well designed. It’s reliable. And it’s made by a lab that actually specializes in breeding, maintaining, culturing, and studying an enormous library of fungi specimens.

With over 150 curated fungi genetics in their bank, you can trust they know how to make this product worth having.

And it is worth having.

Because let me tell you, there is nothing quite like watching nature do its thing in real time, in your own space, while you sit there feeling just a little brilliant.

When The Chocolate Bar Meets The Liquid Culture

At first glance, these two products seem completely different.

One melts on your tongue.
The other grows in a jar.

But that’s exactly what makes Toadwood Labs intriguing.

Toadwood Labs is a full-spectrum community: pleasure meets science, comfort meets curiosity, indulgence meets intelligence. The Chocolate Bar is the feeling. The Liquid Culture is the understanding.

One feeds the senses.
The other feeds the mind.

They complement each other like an artist and a researcher sharing a studio. Or a chef and a botanist writing a cookbook together. Or a poet and an engineer falling in love.

This is what makes Toadwood Labs feel different from anything else in the wellness space. They aren’t just selling products. They’re inviting you into an ecosystem.

A place where:

Chocolate is designed with intention.
Learning is hands-on and meaningful.
Wellness is personal.
Exploration is respectful and informed.
And people are encouraged to discover, share, and grow.

Literally grow.

The Community That Makes It All Make Sense

Toadwood Labs collaborates with an impressive and wonderfully eclectic roster of people:

Veterans
First responders
Healers
Shamans
Clinicians
Mystics
Researchers
Everyday people
International communities
Independent artists

It’s rare to see a company with this much range. It means they’re not operating inside a bubble. They’re listening to the people who are doing the work. They’re learning from traditions that have been around much longer than any modern industry. They’re bridging the gap between ancient practice and modern science.

And most importantly, they are committed to individualized, accessible wellness.

No one size fits all.
No empty slogans.
No miracle promises.

Just thoughtful offerings for people who want thoughtful experiences.

Products made with real craftsmanship.
Education made with real care.
Guidance made with real responsibility.

This is the heart of Toadwood Labs: a belief that every person deserves support. Consistency. Quality. And a team that respects both the science and the humanity behind its work.
