About Us

Rooted in Wisconsin

Founded in the heart of Wisconsin, Tandem Mushroom Co. embraces all four seasons, but for us, every season is mushroom season. Our name reflects the beautiful symbiotic relationship between trees and mushrooms in nature – living in tandem, supporting one another in perfect harmony. Just as trees and fungi form essential partnerships in the forest, we aim to connect people with the fascinating world of mushrooms.

Our journey began in 2008 during what was supposed to be an ordinary hike with our dog, when we accidentally stumbled upon our first morel mushroom. That single discovery, and the unforgettable meal that followed, ignited a passion that transformed our casual outdoor adventures into purposeful foraging expeditions.

From Accidental Foragers to Mushroom Enthusiasts

Over the past 15+ years, we've identified and harvested every edible wild mushroom variety Wisconsin's diverse landscape has to offer. What started as a hobby quickly became a family tradition, with our children eagerly joining the hunt, learning to spot the telltale signs of hidden forest treasures. Our fascination eventually led us to cultivate our own gourmet mushrooms, completing the circle from foragers to growers.
