Our Story

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A GLOBAL COMMUNITY

From Humble Beginnings

It was 2017, and we had just completed our HNDs in web design at City of Glasgow College. Out of work, broke, and dreading our next visit to the job centre, we knew we needed an idea — something that could change our lives.

Then, one night, after purchasing mushroom growing supplies from abroad, it hit us: why wasn’t there a UK-based supplier for mushroom enthusiasts like us? We realised that fellow growers deserved a reliable, local source for high-quality mushroom growing products.

We knew we had found our dream adventure!!!

Building Cylocybe

The next morning, we came up with the name ‘Cylocybe.’ With our last £100 and the help of a ‘man with a van,’ we collected and refurbished old furniture and laptops. Surviving on beans and toast for the first year, we poured every penny into building Cylocybe.

Today, we serve tens of thousands of customers worldwide from our 4000 sq. ft. industrial farm, equipped with high-tech labs and cutting-edge equipment.

Chase your dreams.

Peace, love & positivity,
