Quality Control Is Our Top Priority

Organically grow mushrooms as nature intended

It Starts Deep In The Mountains of China

Deep in the mountains of China thousands of small farmers and small industries dedicate themselves to the natural cultivation of mushrooms. These are people who are close to the land and understand that food production is a sacred bond with the earth. In the case of shiitake mushrooms, cultivation started in China in the 12th century. Generations of mushroom growers have maintained a continuous cycle of mushroom cultivation so that today, China is responsible for over 90% of worldwide mushroom production.

Are you concerned about mushroom products from China? So are we.

We have worked for 30 years with our Chinese partners to produce products in a sustainable manner without the use of agricultural chemicals. This has allowed us to reach a quality standard that few other companies can meet.

Organically Grown Mushrooms As Nature Intended

  1. Every crop of mushrooms starts with selected strains, cultivars that have been developed over the course of centuries. Hundreds of mushroom research institutes are engaged in continual research and development on high yielding strains of the highest medicinal quality.
  2. Specially selected natural materials such as protein enriched sawdust and hardwood logs are used as the food base for the mushrooms. These natural substrates contain precursors that guarantee the production of important medicinal compounds.
  3. Mushroom crops are produced in greenhouses and shade-houses.
  4. A constant flow of fresh air and fresh water from deep wells is provided to the mushrooms.
  5. Natural sunlight provides the stimulus for proper mushroom formation.
  6. The mushrooms are harvested by hand and sun-dried or air dried in a dehydrator.
  7. After harvest and before processing, every crop of mushrooms is tested for possible chemical drift or other contamination.
