Welcome to
The Caring Mushroom Co.
Here at The Caring Mushroom Co. (TCM Co.), we are passionate about providing you with the freshest, rare varieties of specialty mushrooms, harvested locally and delivered directly to your door. Our mission is to bring the unique flavors and health benefits of gourmet mushrooms to your kitchen, while supporting sustainable farming practices and our local community.
Our Story
The Caring Mushroom Co. began from humble beginnings, big dreams, and aspirations. What started as a hobby turned into a business, driven by a love for nature and a commitment to quality. Over the years, we’ve cultivated a variety of rare and exotic mushrooms, each with its own unique taste and nutritional benefits.
Our Mission
The Caring Mushroom Co. is dedicated to nourishing lives and the planet with sustainably-cultivated, organic mushrooms. Just as mushrooms thrive through natural partnerships, we strive to form symbiotic relationships, nurturing and elevating our communities to advance human wellness and environmental health.
In partnership with The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, we commit to donating a meal for every pound of mushrooms purchased through our subscription service. Together, we can make a difference, one pound at a time.
