Since 1980, Fungi Perfecti has been at the forefront of the gourmet and medicinal mushroom movement. Founder Paul Stamets, author of the definitive text ''Growing Gourmet & Medicinal Mushrooms,'' has pioneered the cultivation of many unique strains of medicinal fungi. Strains are continuously tested at our research and production facility. Located at the base of the pristine Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, our 17 acre farm on the Puget Sound is the ideal site for the isolation and adaptation of potent new mushroom strains from the wild. ''Fungi Perfecti, owned by mycologist and author Paul Stamets, is the best all-round source for medicinal mushroom products and information.'' - Dr. Andrew Weil.
