About us
In January 2020, Setas Mushrooms opened its doors, with the short-term goal of delivering fresh, dried, and specialty mushrooms straight to the consumer. Our long-term goal is to reduce the amount of plastic and reliance on resource-constrained material in the world using mycelium as packing material, as building material, and as space materials (think satellites).
