Why do we grow mushrooms?

WE GROW MUSHROOMS OUT OF PASSION AND BELIEF IN WHAT WE DO

Because we love mushrooms and more and more people do too. Mushroom consumption is growing rapidly, both in Catalonia and elsewhere. What used to be a seasonal food has now become a year-round staple for many families and restaurants.

The ability of mushrooms to make dishes more nutritious and flavorful, along with their reputed health benefits, has contributed to this trend.

To meet this growing demand and avoid the overexploitation of forests, mushroom cultivation is proving to be an excellent solution.

WE OBTAIN
HIGH-QUALITY MUSHROOMS
WITH EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOR

TO HAVE BETTER-MANAGED AND MORE DIVERSE FORESTS

We add value to the forestry sector by purchasing fine wood and sawdust — products with very little commercial demand.

  • We minimize the risk of forest fires
  • We help make the forestry sector more profitable
  • We promote forest diversity

FOR THE STABLE CREATION OF JOBS

Our mushroom cultivation system generates stable, year-round employment — including for people with functional diversity.

  • We reduce social inequality between individuals
  • We offer an inclusive space and a positive work environment
  • We help people discover their skills and abilities

TO IMPROVE AND ENRICH OUR DIET

Mushrooms have a nutritional composition that supports a more sustainable and varied diet, making them highly attractive for several reasons:

  • They are a healthy, natural source of protein
  • They have a very low fat content (between 2% and 8%)
  • They are a good source of vitamins such as B, B2, C, and folic acid. They also contain significant amounts of potassium, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.

TO PROVIDE SOLUTIONS
FOR THE CATERING INDUSTRY

We supply mushrooms with consistent quality and pricing, ideal for the food service sector.

  • We offer traceability and on-time delivery
  • We minimize biotic and abiotic contamination
  • Our mushrooms arrive clean, saving time and improving food safety

COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING

We use environmentally friendly packaging, such as wooden crates or boxes made from cellulose with compostable PLA lids.

CIRCULAR AND REGENERATIVE ECONOMY

Our raw materials come from the forest, resources that the forestry industry struggles to profit from, such as fine wood, sawdust, or log edges. With these excellent materials, we turn them into a resource to grow gourmet mushrooms and provide employment for people with functional diversity.

After harvesting, we use the spent substrate to produce high-quality compost, which local organic farmers apply to their fields, thus regenerating soil life. In this way, we return to the earth what we take from the forest, improving agricultural crops and the soil’s diversity and richness.

We contribute to promoting regenerative agriculture, which is based on restoring soil health and keeping it productive for as long as possible, in order to prevent the expansion of agricultural operations into new areas.
