Who We Are

Rooted in
community.
Grown with care.

True Mycology was born from a simple idea: Long Island deserves access to fresh, locally grown mushrooms — the kind you'd find at a restaurant you had to save up for, available right at your neighborhood farmer's market.

We grow premium edible mushrooms and sell them directly to our community. No middlemen, no mystery supply chains — just clean food, grown close to home, with total transparency about how it got to you.

The Beginning

It started with a question that seemed obvious once it was asked: why is it so hard to find a genuinely fresh, locally grown mushroom on Long Island? We have the land, the climate, and the appetite for great food — but the mushrooms at the grocery store come from hundreds of miles away, sitting in cold storage long before they reach your kitchen.

True Mycology was started to fix that. We grow premium edible mushrooms right here — Blue Oysters, King Oysters, Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Maitake — and bring them directly to our community, as fresh as they can possibly be.

"Long Island deserves a mushroom farm it can actually visit, taste, and trust."

Our Mission

We're not trying to be the biggest mushroom company in the country. We're trying to be the best one in your neighborhood. That means showing up consistently at your local farmer's market, being honest about how and where we grow, and building real relationships with the people who buy our food.

This is for the chef who wants to elevate their menu. The family that reads labels. The person who has been looking for a local farm they can actually get behind. We're building for all of you.

How We Grow

We grow indoors using a controlled environment that keeps conditions optimal year-round. No pesticides, no synthetic inputs. Just substrate, spores, humidity, and time. Every variety we grow is harvested at peak freshness and gets to you quickly — because that's the whole point.

We're transparent about our process because we think you deserve to know what you're eating and where it came from. No jargon, no greenwashing — just a real local farm doing things the right way.

What's Next

We're launching our first fresh edible lineup soon, starting with a presence at Long Island farmer's markets. As we grow, we plan to expand our varieties, and eventually develop a line of functional mushroom supplements for those who want to go deeper.

But one thing at a time. Right now, we're focused on getting the freshest mushrooms in your hands. If you're here early, you're exactly who we built this for.

What We Stand For

Built on principles,
not shortcuts.

These aren't just words on a website. They're the decisions we make every day when we're in the grow room, at the market, and talking to our customers.

Transparency Always

You can know exactly where your mushrooms came from, how they were grown, and who grew them. No mystery, no fine print.

Community First

We serve our local market before we think about scale. Farmer's markets, local restaurants, neighborhood families — that's who we show up for, every week.

Freshness Is Everything

We grow to order and harvest close to delivery. Fresh mushrooms aren't just better tasting — they're a completely different ingredient.

Honest About What We Are

We're a local mushroom farm, not a wellness empire. We grow great food and we're straightforward about it. Simple as that.

Sustainable Practices

Clean growing with no pesticides or synthetic inputs. Thoughtful packaging. A short supply chain that cuts emissions. We care about what we leave behind.

Built to Last

We're not looking for a quick win. True Mycology is a company being built the right way — one harvest, one relationship, one market at a time.
