In the serene pursuit of Organic, Medicinal, and Gourmet mushrooms, OMG Mushrooms embarked on a five-year journey of quiet cultivation. However, the tranquility was disrupted by two significant shifts in the landscape. Firstly, the rigid amendments in Australian Biosecurity laws dictated stringent regulations, allowing only Shiitake and Turkey Tail to be grown locally. Lion's Mane and Maitake were banned also but recently permitted. The ban on these medicinal mushrooms left a void in Australia's holistic well-being only to be filled by companies utilising Australian local substitutes and mycelliated grain products. This was a glaring concern as most scientific studies investigating the health benefits of such products such as Lion's Mane mushrooms focus on Hericium erinaceus due to its established history of use in traditional medicine and the availability of research (not Australian Hericium coralloides).

Secondly, the commendable ban on old growth logging, a move appreciated for environmental reasons, inadvertently led to a shortage of the most natural mushroom substrate material – kiln dry sawdust. This vital source of nutrition for mushrooms became scarce, challenging the essence of what makes our mushrooms truly exceptional.

It was NOT an option for OMG Mushrooms to provide AN INFERIOR MYCELLIATED GRAIN PRODUCT.

Determined to preserve the authenticity and medicinal prowess of our offerings, years of meticulous research unfolded. The revelations were profound and, at times, disheartening. The mushroom market was plagued by a lack of regulation, shifting TGA guidelines, and narratives from existing mushroom providers sadly discrediting products from China. The desire to do more than the ordinary spurred us to seek the best alternatives, emphasising organic practices and aligning with nature's intended way of bioavailability.

Not only have we sourced the finest raw mushrooms, but our commitment extends to preserving traditional methods of consumption. Through extensive research, we've uncovered the ancient Chinese method of 'Honey Pills' which we've renamed, Myco-Honey Pearls' — a time-tested approach to enhance bioavailability. By combining the healing properties of mushrooms with the enriching essence of honey, our mushroom honey pearls bring tried-and-true traditions to the modern world, ensuring you experience the full spectrum of healing compounds in a form that transcends time.
