"Imagine a worm. What a worm eats is very minuscule very small particles. I don't expect a worm to swallow a whole apple but what I can do is chop that apple into small pieces for a worm to eat and that chopping up part is the mushrooms job, otherwise we would be swimming in a bunch of trash without any decomposition" -Serif Toy, Mycologist at Mystic Mountain Mushroom Visit https://www.mysticmountainmushrooms.com to dive deeper into their mystical world.

Where Food Comes From Presents | Mystic Mountian Mushrooms Mystic Mountain Mushrooms began in 2020 as a dream to bring healing and harmony to an unbalanced world. Sherry McGann discovered the health benefits of mushrooms and plant-based medicine during her journey to recovery from a severe case of whooping cough. The impact of plants on her personal life inspired Sherry to tackle a broader mission: educate the world about the healing properties of mushrooms. When the pandemic hit in early 2020, Sherry decided it was time to nurture her dream. She brought together a group of fellow mushroom-lovers across Colorado and built a farm in her very own garage. The business now consciously cultivates culinary and medicinal mushrooms for customers across Colorado. Connecting passion with innovation, Mystic Mountain Mushroom is just getting started with all the capabilities these magical fungi provide to our earth.
