Web Designer

Fungi Perfecti is built on the power and potential of mushrooms, especially mushroom mycelium, the root-like structures found growing below ground. Just as mycelium helps to support our immune systems, it also supports the health and immunity of the natural habitats where it grows.

Paul Stamets, a leading speaker, author, researcher, and passionate innovator founded the company 40 years ago. In addition to creating dietary mushroom supplements under the Host Defense Mushrooms brand, we are invested in peer-reviewed research as well as mycological education efforts. And when it comes to sustainability, we’re committed to offsetting our carbon footprint and using recycled packaging.
