Fungi Perfecti®
is a family-owned, environmentally friendly company specializing in using
gourmet and medicinal mushrooms to improve the health of the planet and
its people. We are leaders in a new wave of technologies harnessing the
inherent power of mushrooms and fungal mycelia worldwide.
Fungi Perfecti® is Certified Organic by the Washington State Department
of Agriculture. In business since 1980, we offer everything for the mushroom
enthusiast: Only recently has the cultivation of exotic mushrooms become
a practical endeavor. Cultivating mushrooms is not necessarily difficult:
it requires only a willingness to learn, a little work, and adherence to
some well defined guidelines. Mushrooms can be grown throughout the year
indoors or during a few months outdoors.
One
of the most exciting innovations in mushroom culture is a concept Fungi
Perfecti has been instrumental in promoting: Mycological Landscaping. Mycological
landscaping involves the cultivation of exotic mushrooms as beneficial companions
to plants in gardens, lawns, or within woodlands. Fungi Perfecti has been
actively searching the wild for candidates having strong potential for culinary
value. Each year we clone dozens of species having gourmet appeal and test
them at our research facility- indoors and outdoors. Imagine having a selection
of choice exotic mushroom patches, protected in the privacy of your backyard,
to be enjoyed through the seasons and perhaps through generations!
We keenly sense that fungi will play a pivotal role in new industries of
the 21st Century. Gourmet and medicinal mushrooms will continue to appeal
to organic gardeners, commercial cultivators, researchers, nutritionists,
and ecological managers. Indeed, we forsee a quantum leap in their popularity
when the public realizes that these fungi:
- stimulate the immune system helping the human body resist and fight
viral diseases and cancers
- lower cholesterol levels
- represent a pesticide-free alternative to the traditional white button
mushroom
- are instrumental in the recycling of wood and agricultural byproducts
- can easily be grown by everyone-outdoors in your garden or yard (mycological
landscaping)-or indoors within greenhouses, solaria, or controlled environments.
Through our in-depth classes and information networks, we encourage
the establishment of a constellation of independent, organically minded
growers whose collective consciousness will define this emerging industry
well into the next century. We hope you will join us in this endeavor.
The future is ours.
