Fungi Perfecti® - makers of Host Defense® Mushrooms™ - is a family-owned company specializing in mushroom mycelium-based supplements. Founded by Paul Stamets in 1980 with the goal of building a bridge between people and fungi, Fungi Perfecti® has become synonymous with cutting-edge mycological research and innovative mycological solutions. Under Paul’s visionary leadership, we have made significant breakthroughs revealing the power and potential of mushroom mycelium. This is the foundation of the Host Defense® brand. Based near the Olympic Rainforest in Washington state, we are one of the best-documented and longest-standing mushroom supplement companies in the USA. Since its inception, Fungi Perfecti® has been the industry leader in research on the endless potential for the use of fungi in everything from water filtration (mycofiltration) and ecological rehabilitation (mycoremediation), to using beneficial mushrooms in the form of supplements to support human health. Our continued mission is to explore, study, preserve, and spread knowledge about the use of fungi for helping people and planet.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

We strive to make the world of mushrooms accessible to all, fostering collaboration and innovation to improve tomorrow. North Spore is on a mission to disrupt the food system by empowering people to grow and harvest their own healthy edible and medicinal mushrooms. In addition to the positive environmental impacts of mycelium (e.g. soil nutrient cycling, bioremediation) the potential for mushrooms to naturally improve health and wellness and become a key sustainable meat alternative are core drivers of what we do. We are a company committed to the environment and sustainability and make every effort to provide organic, natural, non-GMO, and locally sourced materials from companies that share our values. With our vertically-integrated facility, North Spore produces 100% of its spawn, sterile substrates, cultures, and kits. We take our customer's needs seriously and are fortunate to have multiple staff mycologists leading research and development, plus trained lab technicians overseeing our spawn and substrate production, in-house laboratory, and in-house culture bank. Regardless of whether we are sharing our knowledge of mushroom cultivation and foraging, our favorite mushroom recipes, or simply our overwhelming admiration for this often overlooked biological kingdom, we are striving to be a community hub for fungi enthusiasts, both beginner and expert.

MycoLogical is a CCOF certified organic facility. We are also a food safe facility certified by SCS Global for Good Manufacturing Practices. We have extensive knowledge about wild and organic foods that we put to use in screening, grading and sorting fresh, dried and frozen wild and organic mushrooms, chili peppers, berries and many other products to make them safe and a quality value for our customers. We supply small natural food stores across the country as well as major chains, directly and through our distributors. From shiitake to porcini, from chipotle to Birds-eye chili, from blackcap raspberries to gooseberries, we like unique, we like quality. Established in 1995, MycoLogical has worked to increase awareness of the symbiotic relationship between wild fungi and healthy forest ecosystems. Our mission has broadened to include even more wild species, as well as certified organic cultivated foods under the Terra Dolce brand. Most of our wild products are harvested from the biologically rich temperate forests of Oregon. We promote sustainable harvesting by the scores of dedicated foragers who gather the 30+ wild culinary seasonal mushrooms like chanterelles, as well as other wild foods such as seabeans, miner's lettuce, huckleberries and many other special, and sustainably harvested wild foods. Our cultivated products, such as organically farmed mushrooms and chili peppers, come from small organic farms in our own backyard, the Willamette Valley, as well as from organic farms in neighboring regions that meet the rigorous certification requirements for our organic products. We are proud to play a role in supporting small organic farms. You can reach us at 541-465-3247 or eric@mycological.com.
