Om Mushroom Superfood (Om) and parent company M2 Ingredients (M2), a company specializing in environmentally controlled mushroom farming, announced today that it has joined forces with other U.S. mushroom growers—Fungi Perfecti, LLC, Gourmet Mushrooms, Inc., and Monterey Mushrooms Inc.—to emphasize the importance of conveying scientifically accurate information to the public, FDA, and other thought leaders in the field. The move comes in response to a puzzling opinion presented in a recent FDA Citizen Petition submitted by Nammex, which obfuscates the use of well-established mycological definitions. Nammex and their brand Real Mushrooms import mushroom extracts from China. The response and the complete list of initial signatories can be found here.
