Festival season is in full swing and for many of us that means flamboyant weekends filled with friends, flexing, and feral fun in the fields. But as the party winds down and we find ourselves faced with the stark reality of another working week (ft. a to-do list as long as your arm and a mild case of existential dread), the ol’ festival blues can start to take a hold pretty fast. Luckily for us, medicinal mushrooms may just hold the answers to some of our comedown woes!
A tried and tested trio featuring the neuro-protective and gut-loving benefits of Lions mane, anti-inflammatory magic ft. big ol’ hug for your nervous system from Reishi, and the antioxidant, mineral boosting super powers of Chaga.

Following nearly 2 decades in the aquatic industry where he was responsible for coral propagation and life support system design for some of the largest private aquariums in the United Kingdom, Henry made the transition over to lab-based mycology at The Bristol Fungarium due to certain ethical realities he could no longer overlook within the aquatic world.
Henry leads the research & development of our commercial strains, manages our ever-growing specimen library, and oversees our continual process optimisation from agar to fruiting body.
We are very thankful that he has chosen to re-engage with this long-held interest in mycology and Henry is thoroughly enjoying the challenge of scaling up our commercial medicinal mushroom range, with a personal preference for the delightful intricacies of cordyceps.
After a few educational years establishing his organic vegetable farm and following 2 decades of largely unsuccessful excursions foraging for mushrooms, from the foothills of the pyrenees to the siberian steppes, Tom experienced a revelation during a mushroom cultivation course he attended in 2018.
In 2019 he downed tools on the farm and invested all he had into creating The Bristol Fungarium, producing the UK’s first organic certified medicinal mushrooms.
