Local Production

Produced in Belgium, 100% ORGANIC, traceable production from start to finish

The vast majority of dietary supplements and other mushroom-based products available on the market use mushrooms imported from China, which sometimes raises issues regarding traceability of production methods.

At the Mycosphere, we control the entire production chain of our products, from spores to mushroom harvest, drying, and packaging.

We cultivate them on a 100% organic substrate that we produce from beech wood and selected organic cereals from our region.

The shiitake mycelium develops on a substrate that we custom-make from beech wood sawdust and organic cereals from our region. This substrate is first pasteurized to eliminate any contaminants before being mixed with the selected shiitake mycelium in our laboratory.

Its cultivation requires time and patience: it takes 10 to 12 weeks between the reproduction of the mycelium and the harvest of the mushrooms. We control the humidity and air renewal in our growing rooms to ensure maximum development and quality of the mushrooms.

We then practice a slow drying at low temperatures (<42°C) to best preserve all their qualities.
