The age old tale, or so it seems in these fast moving times seems to be Mycelium vs. Fruitbodies ... but what if you simple added both into your products, built out and followed through with scientific studies for publication and actually collected data after proceeding to test, test and test again. Steve and Sam of OM Mushrooms have been doing just that and growing fast into the myco-obsessed market over the last 5 years. But their stories didn't begin just half a decade ago. Steve Farrar and Sam Andrasko (aka: Lipa of The Shroomery) sat down with us at their last location prior to their big expansion in Carlsbad California to talk everything from their early days cultivating to the modern myco-debacles. In a world now briming with big players, nutraceuticals have exploded onto the market but OM's inception was perfectly timed and primed for the very start of the pandemic. 2020 caused many things to happen all at once, but one of the unexpected occurrences was the sudden awareness, concern and some might even say obsession with healthy living through super foods and supplements.  Mushrooms are getting their long overdue limelight in the west and OM is seeing a direct beneficial impact from such a monumental shift in the western ways of eating for a better life!
