About Boulder Mushroom

After 10 years of teaching within his local community about the wonders of mushrooms, Zach Hedstrom, founder and owner of Boulder Mushroom, decided it was time to fill the needed role of a professional quality mycology center. Boulder Mushroom has dedicated its mission to the development of prolific mushroom strains which are adapted to locally available substrate materials, while also cultivating the highest quality culinary and medicinal mushrooms for our growing community. Boulder Mushroom serves in producing the highest quality fungi available for our customers. Our locally grown spawn, produced in Boulder County, Colorado is guaranteed vigorous and viable. Boulder Mushroom offers unique strains of mushrooms, which have been adapted for production from within our own local environment. Our cultivated culinary mushrooms are guaranteed high quality, recognized for impeccable flavor, texture, and beauty.

Why Mushrooms?

For many, mushrooms carry an altogether mystical quality, their unique growing habits and broad-spectrum benefits for human (and non-human) health are at times astounding. The function of mushrooms in an ecosystem – as ‘recyclers’ and ‘nutrient superhighways’ – shows us that fungi have a strong interest in allyship with other organisms. By harnessing this energy for the good of humanity, we may bring our species to a higher level of efficiency, health, and ecological alignment. We call mushrooms ‘futuristic ancient foods’ because, through the use of modern technology paired with ancient practices of reverence and cultivation, we believe mushrooms will be one of the primary forms of nutrition in the next era of human history.
