The quality of a mushroom extract is decided much earlier than on the label — at the choice of strain, substrate control, fruiting-body maturation time, optimal harvest moment, cultivation site.
Aloha Fungi is a Polish brand that controls the chain from strain to finished product, growing out of 8 years of therapeutic practice by Mateusz Rosa, an international TCM therapist. On the other side of the chain stands Yi, our technologist with over 18 years of experience cultivating and extracting functional mushrooms in China.
"Product quality starts at the strain and substrate, in close relationships with farmers — not at extraction. Most Western brands don't see this and don't understand the whole process."
We work with suppliers certified by the German CERES. We validate every batch at EUROFINS. We work exclusively with fruiting-body extracts. We standardise on specific markers, but never at the expense of the harmony of the full profile… Art, not only science.
For brands, manufacturers and clinics that want to build products customers will come back to.
Founder
Mateusz Rosa is an international TCM therapist holding a Doctor of Acupuncture Level A certificate issued by WFAS, with 8 years of therapeutic practice, and author of the books Przebudzenie Zdrowia and Suplementacja grzybów Funkcjonalnych. At Aloha Fungi he leads strategic brand development and international expansion.
Extraction technologist
A passion for mushrooms made him one of the leading figures in the global market for extract production. Yi is our partner and is responsible for raw-material quality and technological development. He has been working with mushroom extracts for more than 18 years. He writes openly about how the industry actually works on his blog yilovesmushroom.com.
Openness
We also run Aloha Fungi B2B — selling raw materials and extracts to other brands, cafes and manufacturers. The reason isn't only business. The reason is this: it's better for the industry to have more good products than for us to be the only island of clarity.
