MycoFuel (First orders will ship 8/27)

MycoFuel™

We started our mission by bringing you truly organic compost — pulled from the earth and crafted to work in perfect symbiosis with mushroom cultures, producing the healthiest, most vibrant fruits possible.

But over time, the market changed. Manure-based substrates became a dime a dozen. Many producers stopped caring about clean, traceable sources and started chasing only what was cheapest. We refused to lower our standards.

So, we went back to the drawing board — which just so happened to be in the lab. Partnering with researchers and drawing on peer-reviewed studies, we set out to design the most advanced mycological additive ever created. Our goal was simple: to make any substrate capable of facilitating the most vigorous growth and potent mushrooms possible.

The result was MycoFuel™ — a targeted fusion of biochemical precursors, osmoprotectants, nutrient uptake enhancers, and marine-derived biostimulants, built from the ground up to feed your mycelium exactly what it needs, exactly when it needs it.

Key Ingredients

• L-Tryptophan – A biochemical precursor linked to secondary metabolite pathways in Psilocybe  1

• Betaine (TMG) – An osmoprotectant that supports mycelial stress tolerance and cellular performance

• β-Cyclodextrin – Improves solubility and stability of active compounds while acting as a controlled-release carrier and potential elicitor.

• Humic Acid – Enhances nutrient uptake and bioavailability, improving growth rates and fruit quality.

• Micronized Kelp Extract – Provides marine minerals and plant growth factors known to stimulate beneficial fungal activity.
