About Us

The Mushroomery is a family-owned, certified organic mushroom farm located in the foothills of the Oregon Cascade Mountains. We grow gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, create mushroom powders, package dried mushrooms, and assemble several 'grow your own' indoor and outdoor mushroom kits. 

We also harvest wild mushrooms throughout the year in the Oregon Cascade and Coastal Mountain ranges.

We (Dustin Olsen and Jennifer Macone) started our farm in 2004 out of love for eating mushrooms, wild harvesting them and providing our community with mushrooms. 

​
