innovating mycology

---

These special pages are meant to provide you the chance to participate in a very brief anonymous survey and also learn more about our innovative Project Morel R&D efforts.

The opportunities we’re trying to address are that Morels are the # 1 most sought-after gourmet mushroom and that mushroom demand in general is on the rise.  Due to their life cycle not being well understood, a vast majority of morel supply is procured by foraging methods that can damage ecosystems and are labor-intensive.

We are a sustainable agriculture research and production start-up that discovered an environmental process to induce sclerotia formation and fruiting morel mushrooms (Morchella esculenta) on self-formulated agar in petri dishes. We are convinced commercialization of this process will change the business model.

The entire mushroom business eco-system currently pays top dollar for morels (direct consumers, culinary professionals, food processing, and wholesale distributors, etc.), and scaling up our indoor method will bring more morels to the market more regularly.
