Our unique cultures are sourced from all over the world and they each have a story to tell about the environment they originate from. They have amazing flavours and textures which are unlike any other food. We think of them more like strange meats than as vegetables. Mushrooms have much more in common with mammals than they do with plants. They breathe oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide and share nearly 50% of their DNA with humans. Their natural habitats are humid forests throughout the world. They use sunlight to produce their stunning colours and various compounds including Vitamin D, of which they are the only non-animal source. They even produce melanin like we do. The meaty taste of mushrooms mostly comes from Glutamate, a neurotransmitter contained in some meats. Mushrooms are amazing little chemical factories and they produce a staggering variety of compounds which can have powerful effects.

All of our mushrooms grow on dead wood in nature and we use Eucalyptus sawdust. Different growing mediums influence the flavour and texture of the mushrooms. "You are what you eat" applies to mushrooms too and ours have a pure, nutritious diet of W.A. Eucalyptus, legumes and rain water. Mushrooms are bio-accumulators and they absorb everything from the air and water they grow with. We never use pesticides and work hard to imitate a pristine forest environment in our grow rooms. We have worked for years to select a variety of resilient fungal cultures which thrive in our harsh W.A. conditions. They tolerate a wide range of fruiting temperatures which minimises air-conditioning requirements and also makes them easier to grow at home, year-round. We offer our extra-large commercial grow blocks for sale with detailed growing instructions and optional fine mist spray bottles and humidity bags.
