About us

Two founders, one mushroom farm in the heart of Erlangen.

At Meisterpilze we are a small, passionate team driven by a love of nature, science and sustainable innovation.

Who we are

Luis
Chemistry

Luis grew up in Portugal, among fields, animals and the smells of the earth. Later he found in chemistry a language that deepened his curiosity about life.

Jonas
Biology

Jonas, born in Erlangen, came to mushrooms through biology.

Our core team is Luis and Jonas – but we are not alone: without a great group of friends who support us in marketing, production, sales and technology, we would not have come this far.

Since 2021/2022

How we got started

Around 2021/2022 we decided to bring our knowledge and values together. Today we run a small urban mushroom farm in the heart of Erlangen, tinker with new mycelium products and bring the world of mushrooms to your home with grow kits. We also work on projects around innovative uses of mycelium.

Our production
How we work

What you get from us

Made to order

Freshly autoclaved, never from old stock.

Everything we sell is freshly autoclaved here in Erlangen, made to order rather than from stock. That costs us one to two days of processing time and gives you the certainty that nothing sat in a warehouse for weeks.

Scientists

Lab work, not guesswork.

A chemist and a biologist start every culture themselves and check it under the microscope. Every batch is documented.

Customer service

We won't leave you on your own.
