New Jersey is home to a diverse range of wild medicinal mushrooms, thanks to its rich forests and natural habitats.

Our founder, Dr. Steinhertz, is passionate about foraging and photographing these fascinating fungi. These are some stunning images from her personal collection, showcasing the beauty and diversity of these fungi. Each mushroom not only holds aesthetic value but also possesses unique bioactive properties, which are increasingly recognized in scientific literature.

In recent years, research on mushrooms has expanded significantly, exploring everything from their bioactive compounds to their potential therapeutic applications in fields like oncology, immunology, and neurodegenerative diseases, to name a few. While we cannot list here all the scientific papers we reviewed for this project, much of this information is readily available through academic journals and open-access resources online. These publications offer fascinating insights into the world of mushrooms and their diverse health benefits.

If you're interested in exploring further, a quick search on platforms like Google Scholar or PubMed will yield a wealth of scientific studies on the medicinal properties of mushrooms.
