Our Mission

At My Mushroom Friends, our mission is to foster a community of mushroom enthusiasts who share a passion for foraging, cooking, and learning about the fascinating world of fungi. We believe that mushrooms are not only a delicious addition to our meals but also play a vital role in our ecosystem. Our goal is to educate and inspire individuals of all ages to explore the wonders of mushroom hunting and to appreciate the unique flavors and health benefits they offer.

Who We Are

We are a diverse group of mycophiles—people who love mushrooms—comprising amateur foragers, culinary experts, environmentalists, and educators. Our team includes experienced mycologists who guide our members in identifying edible species, as well as chefs who share their favorite recipes featuring mushrooms.
