Far West Fungi, based in Moss Landing, produces over 10,000 pounds of mushrooms weekly, specializing in gourmet varieties that are often imported from Asia. Founded in 1983, this family-run operation has become a notable producer of organic mushrooms, including shiitake and king trumpet. The farm has expanded to include a second location and retail shops, with practices such as using sawdust blocks for mushroom cultivation. They also contribute to local culture by organizing events like the Santa Cruz Mountain Mushroom Festival.
"Far West Fungi is something of an anomaly in the U.S. mushroom industry, growing specialized varieties that are largely imported from Asia, offering a unique domestic alternative."
"Founded in 1983, Far West Fungi has evolved from a small farm into one of the leading gourmet mushroom operations in the United States, growing a variety of organic mushrooms."
