Founder Owen Rice grew up in Michigan spending time in the forests picking morels. That interest later became a hobby and led him to Oregon where he spent a season harvesting wild mushrooms in the beautiful rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. He quickly fell in love with the culture. Later on when pursuing his degree in environmental studies at the University of Oregon he had the idea that by pu
rchasing mushrooms that could only be grown in the wild we can provide economic incentive for conservation. Since then our mission has been to raise public awareness of the symbiotic relationship between wild fungi, healthy forest ecosystems, and their mutual sustainability. Established in 1995 in Eugene, Oregon, our mission is to raise public awareness of the symbiotic relationship between wild fungi, healthy forest ecosystems, and their mutual sustainability. MycoLogical is the premier source for fresh and dried wild mushrooms. These mushrooms are either sustainably gathered from pristine mountain rainforests of the Pacific Northwest or are organically grown. Our vast wildlands and mild climate create ideal habitats for mushroom growth, providing a cornucopia of delightful edible mushroom species almost year round. We are proud to play a role in a fascinating story with the dedicated foragers who gather these bountiful fungal delights. The fruit of their labor supplies restaurants and retailers worldwide with such famous delicacies as truffles, porcini, morel, chanterelle, and matsutake mushrooms, along with numerous lesser-known varieties. Their efforts have contributed to this region’s worldwide reputation as a favored source for edible gourmet wild mushrooms. Because of our commitment to environmental sustainability, we also work closely with certified organic growers to provide the finest cultivated specialty mushrooms, which include shiitake, maitake, and oyster mushrooms. We now also offer the finest selection of Certified Organic dried chile peppers from most of which are grown in the US. With these new additions, we are certain you will enjoy any gourmet delicacy we have to offer. Whether sustainably gathered or organically grown, we always carefully hand-select, grade, and expertly package our products so that MycoLogical mushrooms and chile peppers remain the very best quality available -- all the way to the table. We invite everyone to experience the taste of the fruits of intact forests ecosystems. It’s unforgettable!
