Our Mission
Cultivate gourmet mushrooms and healthy communities in the legendary Pacific Northwest
Into the Forest
In the depths of the Pacific Northwest lies an old-growth forest hidden in mist. It stands tall, lush, and prime for adventure. A soft glow finds its way through the canopy to the forest floor. More mysterious than the dark forest, mushrooms take advantage of this perfect symbiotic environment. Legend has it mushrooms are the enchanted protectors of the forest. They arrive as life energy transfers from old to new, keeping the rhythm and cycles of life moving in perfect balance. Their intricate root systems - mycelium - support the structure of the forest, deliver and exchange vital nutrients to other species, and communicate with the entire forest.
Mushrooms are the unseen heartbeat of the forest, the connection to the wild that every adventurer feels when they stand among the conifers. This hidden untamed wonderland and home to legendary mushrooms may be something of a myth to many explorers.
No matter your belief, if you’re on a hike one day and look up to a particularly dark forest heavy with mist and feel the undeniable connection to something wild, take a deep breath and know that you have made it, welcome to the Black Forest.
fUNGI TO fORK
Some people report eating mushrooms provides positive health benefits to the immune system, boosts cognitive processing, and has the ability to assist in preventing diseases. Although these experiences vary widely, Black Forest Mushrooms can confirm that mushrooms are in fact packed full of nutrients, provide incredible flavor, and fantastic textures to any meal.
Every mushroom has its own distinct flavor and texture. Some varieties can even be used as an alternative meat in most recipes. Mushrooms are still surprising us with new discoveries and applications every day.
While we continue to explore all the wonderful possibilities that mushrooms bring us, Black Forest Mushrooms is honored to locally cultivate these incredible, mystical, and wonderfully nutritious gourmet mushrooms.
