From Forest Floor to Farm
Our journey began with a simple fascination for the secret world of fungi. What started as forest floor foraging has grown into a dedicated artisanal farm. We believe mushrooms are more than food—they are a vital link to our local ecosystem.
Every batch we grow is a labor of love, harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality reaches your table. When you choose Mad River Mycology, you're not just buying mushrooms; you're supporting sustainable, small-batch passion that stays right here in the community.

We treat fungi cultivation as an art form, utilizing sustainable practices and small-batch techniques to ensure the highest quality harvests while protecting our local ecosystem.
Locally Rooted
By shortening the supply chain, we provide our community with the freshest possibly fungi, harvesting just hours before they reach your kitchen table.
Organic Education
We believe mushrooms are the future. Our goal is to share mycological wonders through transparency, recipe sharing, and community engagement.
Immunity
Fungi are packed with bioactive compounds like beta-glucans that support a resilient immune system.
