We use only Australian grown.
See our mushrooms and meet our farmers.
We're tired of big mushroom brands not being able to show the actual mushrooms that go into their products, and then using deceptive wording or packaging to hide their sources.
Instead, scroll down to see our mushrooms, grown organically in Australia by the following farms:
Lion's Mane, Reishi & Shiitake
We proudly source from Urban Valley gourmet mushroom farm - Brisbane QLD
Urban Valley is full scale urban mushroom farm located within a revitalised city space in the heart of Brisbane's Fortitude Valley. Founded in 2021 by Joel and MYCOfactor's own Rachel on a commitment to sustainability and accessibility, their mushrooms are grown using Australian agricultural byproducts and organic practices. In this indoor vertical farming set up, the mushrooms are grown in a series of specialised cool rooms which keep them in ideal conditions year round. Urban Valley handles the entire lifecycle of the mushroom from mycelium to fruiting body with an on site lab and incubation room. Temperatures, constant fresh air exchange, light parameters and optimal humidity swing are all tailored to each species of mushroom to in order produce the thriving, healthy, clean mushrooms.
Urban Valley is committed to safety and holds Freshcare safety certification, a globally recognised voluntary pathway for growers to demonstrate and verify strict safety standards to customers across markets and regulatory bodies.
Because of Urban Valley's commitment to strict organic practices, their mushrooms are tested and free from heavy metals and chemical residues.
Lion's Mane
Urban Valley is Australia's premier grower of Lion's Mane. You find their fresh punnets of Lion's Mane at Harris Farm Market stores nationally.
Reishi
One of the most unique mushrooms to grow, Urban Valley cultivates Reishi in both antler and conch shapes. Conches are the semicircle shapes that produce spores.
Shiitake
Taking nearly three months to grow, Shiitake are carefully cared for and harvested by Urban Valley weekly.
Turkey Tail
We proudly source from Fungiifind - Yarra Valley VIC
Fungiifind is run by Tom who is an avid mushroom forager and farmer based in the pristine surrounds of the Yarra Valley. Specialising in Turkey Tail farming, Tom has perfected the art of growing this notoriously tough, slow growing variety. His not so best kept secret? - housing them outdoors in tunnels where the Turkey Tail take in the crisp fresh air of the Yarra Valley and thrive. Fungiifind grow the best Turkey Tail in Australia and we're happy to have such a close relationship with this passionate farmer.
The ruffled shape and striped colours of this mushroom take months to form. These are grown outdoors in the fresh air of the Yarra Valley.
Cordyceps
We proudly source from MYCRO - Perth WA
MYCRO shares our same ethos and has been championing the importance of Australian mushrooms since the farm's foundation. George began farming gourmet mushrooms but that led to his passion for bioactive mushooms in 2024. He now grows the highest quality Cordyceps militaris in Australia. He's paving the way with growing techniques and coaxing this mushroom to healthy strong yields. Before George, Cordyceps has and still is almost always from an imported source and questionable quality at best. When you see the bright orange colour of the Cordyceps extract, you'll know how incredibly vibrant, fresh and quality the mushrooms we use are. Thank George for that.
Often called "the zombie mushroom" there's no reason to fear, these Cordyceps are actually grown on a brown rice substrate.
