The mushroom cap is small steam distiller based on a design used by medieval alchemists for extracting essential oils and fragrance essences. Steam passes through the plant material stuffed in the inside of the cap, condenses on the walls of the mushroom cap and runs out in to the outside flask carrying the desired oils with it. Order this unit if you are a hobbyist wishing to experience the ways of the alchemists of the past.

This item is available as a complete unit as shown or the mushroom cap can be purchased individually as an accessory to the other glass units.
