Boscum

Boscum is a company located in the Garrotxa region of Catalonia, dedicated to the cultivation of mushrooms and the production of hydroalcoholic extracts for therapeutic and preventive purposes. Founded in 2016 by a team passionate about fungi, their work is inspired by the millennial uses of Chinese medicine, which has employed medicinal mushrooms for over 3,000 years.
The Boscum team combines expertise in agroecology, mycology, and myotherapy, offering artisanal and organic products that reflect their commitment to sustainability and holistic health.
Boscum specializes in extracting and concentrating active compounds from mushrooms such as Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake, and Hericium, ensuring they are bioavailable for the human body, with the goal of supporting the regulation of the immune and nervous systems.

Products from brand Boscum
In addition to their line of extracts, Boscum offers two methods for domestic mushroom cultivation:
Ready-to-Fruit Substrates
These substrates, already colonized by active mycelium of varieties such as oyster, shiitake, or lion's mane, are prepared to start producing mushrooms within days of opening the kit.
This method is ideal for beginners and enthusiasts, as it eliminates the initial stages of inoculation and colonization, allowing users to enjoy quick and abundant harvests in small spaces, such as kitchens, balconies, or gardens.
This system not only provides fresh mushrooms for culinary use but also promotes mycological education and connection with natural processes.
Inoculated Mushroom Plugs
They offer a practical and sustainable solution for cultivating mushrooms using wooden logs as a natural substrate. These plugs, infused with active mycelium of varieties like shiitake, oyster, or reishi, enable anyone—from hobbyists to experienced growers—to produce fresh mushrooms in an eco-friendly and controlled manner.
By inserting them into freshly drilled logs, the mycelium colonizes the wood and, after an incubation period, generates harvests for several years (typically 3-5 years), depending on the species and conditions.
This method is practical, clean, and resistant to external weather conditions, making it ideal for home cultivation in gardens, orchards, or terraces.
