Om grows 11 species of mushrooms in our Certified 100% Organic, cGMP Carlsbad, California facility.
The Story of Om Mushrooms
Meet our Om-Mazing Founders
From Carlsbad, California to Your Home
Om’s mushrooms are grown in an environmentally controlled, cGMP certified facility in Carlsbad, California. Through years of growing experience, the team has developed the expertise to manage the light, temperature, hydration and air flow for each of the 11 species of mushrooms. The ability to grow the mushrooms in a controlled growing environment helps to optimize the growing cycle and bioactive compounds.
Mushrooms are bio-accumulators, which means they will absorb whatever is in their environment. Om’s pristine growing facility ensures that no toxins, pesticides or heavy metals will compromise the final product. Often, you’ll find traces of these things in mushrooms grown overseas.
“Om Mushrooms is all about amazing, functional, whole food, organic mushrooms with life changing health benefits.”
