Olga Katic grew up mushroom hunting with relatives in Bosnia and Hercegovina. Her grandpa would discard the ones he thought were not edible. The rest, they would cook on a wood stove. Fast forward to today: Olga is the proud owner of Mushroom Mountain that produces mushroom spawn for many different edible and medicinal varieties. They also make several different medicinal mushroom extracts and medicinal mushroom honeys under the name Mycomatrix. Mushroom Mountain also runs a Wild Mushroom Food Safety Certification Program, accepted by Health Departments of seven states and counting and endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration.
