BRAND MISSION

Amanita Universe is not a reseller with a label printer. Two people harvest in Volyn and the Carpathians, dry every batch below 50 °C, and check shipments by hand before they leave our Hollywood, Florida warehouse.

Eleven seasons in the same forests

We choose where to pick by what grows around it — birch and pine for muscaria, the spots we return to each autumn. First-flush caps only; the rest of the flush stays standing. That is why a batch is measured in hundreds of jars, not thousands.

Between us we dry every batch ourselves and one of us checks every shipment by hand.
