Title

Mushroom Adventures - Portabella, Oyster and White Button Mushroom Kits

Description

The company was started in 1996 in San Francisco in a basement garage. The founder Donald Simoni had been growing mushrooms for over five years, when he needed more equipment: a pressure cooker that cost over $400.00. This seemed a lot of money at the time to spend on a hobby, so Don made a few mushroom kits to sell at the local mushroom fair. This went very well and Don earned half the money for the pressure cooker. Shortly after the San Francisco fair another mushroom fair in Santa Cruz was coming up so Don attended it and sold more mushroom kits and the business began.

Each year Don continuously made improvements on the instructions and the manufacturing of the mushroom kits until he felt they were perfect. By talking with the customers over the sales table, Don received a good feel for what people wanted and expected out of his products. He then set out to deliver the best product he could.

By 1998 we had the first mushroom kit boxes printed. In 1999 we began wholesaling our first mushroom kits. This went well and by the year 2000 we had acquired our second wholesale account. In 2000 we out grew our basement operation and moved the production portion of our operation to Petaluma, Ca. There we had more room and we were closer to our raw materials. In we are still in Petaluma, but with triple the working area.
