Locally cultivated and 100% naturally grown.

About Us

Volcano Mushrooms is a small off-grid, solar-powered, family-owned and operated farm on the southern slope of the worlds largest and most active volcano - Mauna Loa. We reside on the Big Island of Hawaii. Specializing in gourmet and medicinal varieties of mushrooms, grown all naturally - pesticide and chemical free. We utilize local resource streams to source our growing medium (macadamia husk and coffee parchment from local farms). Our mission is to provide the highest quality medicinal and gourmet mushroom products to the local community and country alike. 

How Did Volcano Mushrooms Begin?

The farm started out as a humble hobby, building our first grow houses out of pallets from the local bakery shop and learning tissue culture in a DIY still-air box, but only producing 50% clean cultures. After many evolutions on the process we then quickly realized it was too expensive and had to grow enough mushrooms to sell the crop in order to purchase the necessary equipment to continue producing. We decided to sell at the local farmers markets, and slowly accumulated more funds and eventually we were able to expand the grow houses and upgrade to a laboratory with a home-built,  flow-hood that enabled sterile culture work, and provided nearly 100% clean cultures. We continued to learn and grow, introducing more species of mushrooms in order to expand the medicinal and gourmet variety to bring to the Community.

We love what we do!
