Company Info:
Using the most advanced techniques in the development of mushroom mycelium, substrates, and mycorrhizae, we develop and market all the products and services needed for the production of exotic and wild mushrooms. To accomplish this, we rely on a highly motivated and specialised team covering multiple technical areas.
Through simple mushroom processing methods, we create original premium products such as dehydrated mushrooms with seaweed, mushroom-flavoured honey, salts, oils and vinegars, as well as our signature mushroom risottos with seaweed and wild mushroom risotto.
Within our agri-food branch, we commercialise several species of seasonal wild mushrooms foraged from native forests across Portugal. Alongside these, we also offer a wide range of cultivated mushrooms grown on hardwood logs or lignocellulosic substrates in Portugal.
