MEDIA MENTIONS *Food and Wine Magazine "Absolutly Favorite New Finds" - October 2006* "Most coveted new ingredient (Tastes great on pizza) Truffle salt from FungusAmongUs is far more fragrant than truffle oil. We love the company’s rich porcini salt too " *Gourmet Retailer Editor's Choice - October 2006* FungusAmongUs Truffle Gatherer's Sauce "Part of its new Savini line, this rich and flavorful sauce contains Champignon mushrooms, black olives, capers, black truffle, anchovies, salt and olive oil paired with the aroma of truffle to add to the sensory overload. According to the story, this sauce was created to stretch a small batch when the truffle gatherers came home with only a few truffles. Also be on the lookout for Savini's new Italian Truffle and Italian Porcini salts, which retail for $16.95 for 3.5 ounces. They arrived right under the wire for my column, with just a moment to sample. But once I opened the jar and smelled the truffles' sweet, pungent glory, I could not forego mentioning them since they rival their much more costly counterparts." *Epicurious.com Best of the Fancy Food Show - July 2006* "FungusAmongUs Truffle Gatherers Sauce This salty, earthy mix of truffles, olives, capers, and anchovies stands out as a straight-from-the-jar cracker condiment or as a topper for chicken or pasta." *October issue of DeliciousLiving, On The Shelf* Interview in The Natual Foods Merchandiser *Vegetarian Times - February 2005* Mushrooming Success "Even staffers who aren't big mushroom fans loved these gluten-free dried soups. The Moroccan Porcini & Green Lentil and the Spicy Shiitake & Vegetable are vegan. From FungusAmongUs." *Making Scents magazine* "FungusAmongUs Announces a line of organic mushroom soup mixes. Available in three varieties: Smoked Oyster Mushroom Chowder, Moroccan Porcini & Green Lentil Soup, and Spicy Shitake & Vegetable Soup.

Burgess - Judge Relish Market & Cafe Raleigh, NC TESTIMONIALS I have just tried your Moroccan Porcini and Green Lentil Soup. It is really delicious! Sometimes it's hard to find things that are easy to make, good for one and tasty, and your product does it all. Bravo. Best wishes Anna Kelly I have ordered a variety of mushrooms & truffles from wholesalers supplying restaurants for years. The quality of products, service and ease of ordering with FungusAmongUs is far superior to ALL previous experiences. As small business owners, we know the amazing amount of detail that goes into providing both service & a consistently high quality product. I sincerely mean it when I tell you that having a box arrive from FungusAmongUs is akin to being 5 years old at Christmas! Many thanks, Happy New Year and looking forward to more orders in 2005. Eliza Tenza The kits are both working wonderfully! In the first flush, I got about 1.5 lbs. I am on the second bloom now. The difference is incredible from store bought. Any questions that I had, being a first timer and all were quickly answered via e-mail. The kids were especially interested in the growing process and made fungiphobes out of them! I know what all of my friends are getting for xmas this year! Thanks for the terrific experience! Sincerely, Brian and Karen S. Vashon Island, Washington I met Lynn and Mike Monroe on a visit to their farm in 1998 and came away impressed with every aspect of their operation. Ever since, I have depended on their great service and quality kits. I often need Shiitake and Lion's Mane kits on certain days for classroom demonstrations and Mike and Lynn deliver them like clockwork. The kits are always clean, vigorous, and productive. To my students, they're magical! Mike Davis, Professor, Dept. of Plant Pathology, UCDavis The first kit is doing so well that I am getting another one for a friend and a different variety for myself! Sara B. Frostproof, FL Keep up the great work! The mushrooms are wonderful, the quality excellent and the service superb!! Rebecca M. Menlo Park, CA |
