About Us
At Mycopolitan, we strive to grow the very best chemical-free mushrooms for chefs and home cooks in the Delaware valley. We strive for ecological sustainability, and we work with fungi to regenerate soil and economic value. We support curious people of all ages with the tools and information they need to cultivate a relationship with fungi so that we can build a brighter future together. Mushrooms are a staple of Pennsylvania Agriculture. We do things differently. Mycopolitan is Philadelphia's mushroom farm.
Practices
We grow mushrooms that are appropriate to the season. Our subterranean farm uses earth's thermal mass to buffer temperatures. This means less energy and more mushrooms. Our farm is 100% chemical-free and our blocks consist of 90%+ organic substrate. We never spray anything on mushrooms and mycelium that isn’t h2o. We make our blocks in house, meaning we don’t source our substrate from China which has become the industry standard for shiitake. We challenge YOU to find fresher, more beautiful and more varied mushrooms than you’ll find from Mycopolitan :)
