Summary

Olga Tzogas alongside her community, created & operates Smugtown Mushrooms on traditional and occupied Haudenosaunee land, in the city of so-called Rochester NY.

Her journey with Fungi and plants started over ten years ago. Working with these allies by foraging in both urban & more wild settings, & learning to identify for food and medicine. Olga has been a member of the Rochester Area Mycological Association, CPAMC, WPAMC & the West Virginia Mushroom club.

In 2011, Smugtown Mushrooms was established because there was a need for mushrooms & growing supplies, workshops, events & community based science in her area. While learning more & embracing the never-ending, unlocked potential mushrooms & fungi have to help heal both people, planet & soul. Olga teaches workshops throughout the continent about wild mushroom identification, medicinal mushrooms, biology, and mushroom cultivation. She was a core organizer for the 2016 Radical Mycology Convergence and the MycoSymbiotics Festival from 2015-17.

I give this mushroom provider 8 out of 10 acorns.

Smugtown Mushrooms is a smaller mushroom provider in the State of New York. They not only produce mushroom spawn for purchase but they hold learning events around mushrooms both local and far. Smugtown Mushrooms sell reasonably priced spawn with frequent sales on spawn that is not their 100% quality for significant discounts. I have taken advantage of these sales and have been thoroughly pleased with what I have received. Shipping is on the slower side for inoculated bags because they don't usually carry an inventory and make them upon purchase. This is not a bad thing but something to keep in mind if you are wanting to get it ASAP.

I would use this mushroom provider again in the future. I actually just purchased again from them this very week.
