We use only the finest organic ingredients and prepare each batch by hand to ensure the perfect balance.

Organic Matters

Mushrooms bioaccumulate toxins at many times the ambient levels of their environment. While this is good news for our soils, it's not for our bodies. With ever-increasing concentrations of pesticides and other toxins in our soil, food and water, it's more important than ever to find sources we can trust. 

At Fertile Substrate, we are meticulous about our ingredients, from our spring water to the pastures where we wrangle the choicest poops. We believe that every detail has significance, and we are dedicated to our craft. It won't be hard to see the difference, and we promise that your fungus will thank you, too.
