Fresh culinary varieties, dried mushrooms and powders, grow kits, teas, medicinal extracts.

Why it’s listed
Forty-plus years of continuous family operation in specialty mycology is rare globally and almost unique in the US — most specialty mushroom operations either fold or get rolled up into larger food groups within a decade or two. Far West Fungi has held a family-farm-plus-retail model since 1982 and built a real customer-and-restaurant base around it. [[directory|The directory]] wants to surface deep-tenure operations like this — they are the institutional memory of their categories.
Bioregional fit
Far West Fungi sits in the southern edge of the [[san-francisco-bay-area]] bioregion (Moss Landing is on Monterey Bay, the [[san-francisco-bay-area|Bay Area]]‘s southern marine extension), with retail in the city itself. As more Bay Area listings join the directory, the regional cluster thickens around operations like this.
