MyFAQs

• Q: What is mycelium?

  Mycelium (my-cee-lee-yummm!!!) is the root-like structure of mushrooms. Outside, it grows beneath the forest floor. It serves as a communication system and nutrient pathway for an infinite number of living organisms. Mycelium is vital to plant and soil health; in short, it’s amazing!

  In the woods, it’s not ready for us to eat. But when grown inside our special farm, mycelium has the potential to feed the future. You can learn more about mycelium on our blog HERE.
