Mycosource Inc. is a small company that cultivates high-quality, (non-certified) organic Shiitake, Oyster, and Reishi mushrooms.
These are all “wood mushrooms” which means that they grow on wood (trees, fallen limbs, logs). They have high nutritional value and medicinal properties. We market them direct-to-retail at local farmers’ markets and to select restaurants in Toronto.
In addition to cultivating mushrooms we specialize in spawn production.
We produce sawdust ‘growblocks’ and kits for both commercial and hobby growers. Our premier product is sawdust spawn plugs that are used to inoculate hardwood logs for outdoor hardwood log cultivation. We ship grow blocks, kits, and spawn plugs throughout Canada and the US.
We also produce high-quality Kombucha and Kombucha cultures. Kombucha is a fermented drink that we make at Fun Guy Farm and distribute direct-to-retail at farmers’ markets in Toronto.
We give annual mushroom cultivation workshops and Kombucha workshops at Fun Guy Farm located on the Oak Ridges Moraine NE of Toronto, Ontario in Canada
Our Annual Spring Mushroom Cultivation Workshop will be held April 28, 2013 SOLD OUT

We endeavor to act not only as a retailer of high quality ‘wood’ mushrooms but also as an educational enterprise for the dissemination of products and information about mushrooms and mushroom cultivation as part of a diversified and sustainable forest ecosystem.
