Description

Have you heard of Mycelium?

It's the root structure of mushrooms, growing juuuuust beneath the forest floor.

We believe mycelium is the forests' best-kept secret.

With a naturally savory umami flavor and a wonderfully meaty texture, mycelium is a delicious, naturally sustainable option for people seeking a meat alternative.

At MyForest Foods, we grow this gourmet mushroom mycelium _inside _our vertical farm in big, WHOLE pieces that can be sliced up just like traditional cuts of meat.

Our first product, MyBacon is winning the hearts of vegans and carnivores alike—and we're just getting started

Intrigued? If you're a motivated, inspired, passionate foodie with a drive to revolutionize the future of food, we should definitely talk.
