About Us

At MAYA, our mission is to explore, innovate, and expand our understanding of the natural world. We are passionate about studying both wild foraged and commercial fungi genetics, recognizing that all commercially cultivated species originally came from the wild. We are dedicated to documenting and researching species, such as umbrella polypore, that have received limited attention in scientific studies.

Our research extends into the realm of mycoremediation, where we focus on using local fungal genetics to address environmental challenges. Specifically, we are working to mitigate the effects of industrial and agricultural waste, helping to prevent these pollutants from contaminating our streams and impacting the ecosystems they support.

Fungi offer immense potential, and we are committed to learning and sharing their benefits. In addition to our research, we cultivate mushrooms for food and supplements, supporting our studies with practical applications. While we are still in the early stages of development, we deeply appreciate the support we have received from the community so far.

On our website, you will find a wealth of information we’ve gathered, much of which has been sourced from ChatGPT. This tool allows us to condense vast amounts of knowledge into a compact and accessible format. We encourage you to use this information as a starting point for your own research, as it is not meant to be definitive but rather a guide to help you explore the fascinating world of fungi.

At MAYA, we genuinely care about the end consumer of our products. We believe in the healing power of fungi and aim to be a bridge between the worlds of nature and spirit.
