Our Story

Origins of MUSHRUMI

MUSHRUMI began with a conversation between two health enthusiasts in 2025.

What started as a casual exchange quickly uncovered shared Persian roots, careers in longevity, and curiosity for the natural world.

One came from clinical research, the other from the world of holistic wellbeing. Somewhere between conversations about the renaissance of mushrooms and the poetic wisdom of Rumi, the idea for MUSHRUMI began to take shape.

FROM IDEA TO PRODUCT

As consumers ourselves, we found the functional mushroom market difficult to trust: exaggerated claims, unnecessary ingredients, and formulations that prioritised trends over quality.

We believed wellness should be approached more simply — cleaner ingredients, better sourcing, and uncompromising standards. So the search began. Over the following months, we travelled across Europe in pursuit of a supplier who shared our philosophy.

When we finally found the right partner, everything aligned — organic cultivation, exceptional ingredient quality, and pure formulations designed for modern daily rituals. From there, we adapted every product to meet the strict Swiss standards, with nothing that distracts from the integrity of the mushroom itself.

MUSHRUMI was built slowly and intentionally — shaped by science, tradition, and the belief that true wellness doesn’t need excess.

TERESA OREA

Advisor, Nutrition

Who is Teresa?

Teresa is a naturopath and nutritional therapist based at her private practice in London. She trained in Mycotherapy through IMMA and lectures at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, working with practitioners moving into integrative practice. Her clinical experience spans longevity retreats, one-to-one consultations, and academic teaching. Membership of BANT and the ANP keeps her practice tethered to the standards both bodies enforce: evidence hierarchy, dosing rationale, and clear scope of practice. At MUSHRUMI, Teresa shapes the nutritional logic behind the range. She contributes to how the brand thinks about mushrooms within a broader lifestyle context, and to the integrative perspective the brand carries into its education work.

Who is Khalid?

Dr. Khalid is an integrative medicine doctor at Ambio Life Sciences (Malta), where his practice sits at the intersection of clinical medicine and preventative healing. His day-to-day is a mix of the two: conventional diagnostics and treatment on one side, nervous system and resilience protocols on the other. He is a certified HeartMath practitioner, Wim Hof trained instructor, CHEK holistic lifestyle coach, and associate practitioner in BioGeometry environmental home solutions. In practice, that translates into a focus on nervous system regulation, breathwork, and the environmental inputs that shape long-term health. At MUSHRUMI, Khalid contributes both the scientific rigour and the holistic lens. He weighs ingredient decisions against clinical evidence, and pressure-tests the brand's positioning against what genuinely supports longevity rather than what merely markets well.
