SoFlo Fungi was founded in early 2020 in Deerfield Beach, Florida, by Sam Kwalwasser. Sam has imbued the business with his passion for citizen science and analytical thinking. At the same time, we like to keep it fun and interesting, and not take ourselves too seriously.

Sam applies microbiological lab techniques to collect, preserve, and breed fungal phenotypes. At this time, we have collected more than 30 species of fungi from around the world. Of these, the strains we have tested and have confidence in are made available to customers, right here in our shop.

These cultures each have been sourced in 3 possible ways. Some strains are clone isolates made from tissue samples of native culinary and medicinal mushrooms collected in South Florida by SoFlo Fungi. Others have been collected by colleagues and friends in various regions of the globe. Finally, a few of the cultures we have are carefully curated commercial strains capable of sustaining full scale culinary mushroom farms.

All of our products are cultured, processed, and packed in front of a H14 hospital grade HEPA filter with constant laminar flow using the utmost care and meticulous sterile technique.
