Sarah Thompson

Founder & Chief Mushroom Enthusiast

As the founder of WeLoveShrooms, my passion for fungi knows no bounds. My journey into the fascinating world of mushrooms began during a foraging expedition in the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest. I was instantly captivated by their diversity, beauty, and potential. As a biologist by training, I found myself mesmerized by the intricate ecological roles mushrooms play in our environment.

What I love most about mushrooms is their ability to surprise and delight. From their varied shapes and colors to their unique flavors and textures, mushrooms never cease to amaze me. I’m particularly fascinated by their potential to enhance our well-being, both nutritionally and medicinally. The ethereal ghost fungus (Omphalotus nidiformis) holds a special place in my heart for its bioluminescent properties – a reminder of the magic that exists in nature.

My enthusiasm for mushrooms extends beyond their scientific aspects. I’m deeply inspired by the way mushrooms connect us to the earth and to each other. Whether it’s sharing a delicious mushroom-based meal with friends or embarking on a foraging adventure, mushrooms have a way of bringing people together and fostering a sense of wonder about the natural world.
