The cultivated mushroom

From the earth to the table

In 2015, Funghidea joined the Consortium of Certified Italian Mushrooms which promotes the SGS certified cultivation of mushrooms according to the UNI EN ISO 22005: 2008 standard.
Our mushrooms are born and grown in Italy with a traceability system in the agri-food supply chain.
They are cared for using primarily physical and biological systems for pest and infestation control, in compliance with Italian legislation, which is the most stringent and advanced in Europe.
We use exclusively renewed soil in each cultivation, composed of organic, biodegradable, and controlled raw materials.
They are grown in closed environments, free from contamination, with low water and energy consumption systems.
