I always just keep posting mushroom pictures, I've never actually introduced myself on here!
My name is Andrew Johnson, it all started when I decided to put my energy into things that are conducive to a better future for myself and others, I founded Florida Shroom King in 2020, at the time a little mushroom farm in Deltona. Now we operate on an actual 17 acre farm Samsula-New Smyrna!
I'm a zealot, steadfast and determined with my mission. I love mushrooms, if you've visited my booth, you will quickly find I will yap at length about mushrooms! Not everyone favors these lil fungi and I personally find it bizarre that other people have a perception that mushrooms are less than awesome!
Enjoyable education is the cure, so I joined 2 other amazing mycologists to co-found the Florida Mycological Society . My heart would glow to see our once very fungiphobic state develop a strong mushroom culture of its own!
Specifically, my focus and attention in the broad space of Mycology is towards mushroom cultivation and consumption along with the abundance of health benefits that follows.
My favorite mushroom is Lions Mane, I love the way it makes me feel and how meaty and delicious it is! The mushroom I hold the most reverence for is Reishi. It does so many things so well, most importantly, the easy to neglect aspect of sleep and rest. Easy to do when you're hyper passionate and operating a farm/business!
Reishi also scratches my taxonomy itch and brings some mushroom pride to Florida! We sit in such a unique part of the world that allows this genus of mushroom to thrive with multiple species! Some of them really need that extra close inspection to be sure!
I love collecting wild Reishi cultures like Pokemon cards.
My proudest moments are breaking from the old standard that alcohol belongs in mushroom extracts simply from listening to my customers, and breaking the perception on the limits of outdoor cultivation in Florida by running a whole year in production.
I've had my ups and my downs, through it all, I only got better.
Now its time to really grow ✌️🍄♥️
