Phenomenal Fungi
Sister of Mother Earth
Sister of Mother Earth
David, aka Cougar, is the Founder of Phenomenal Fungi and the Chief Science Officer. He is the heart of this company and in charge of all things mushroom! His favorite place is out in nature and he loves nothing better than to spend time in the woods, hunting for mushrooms. A 30-year herbalist, Cougar focuses on natural health solutions and reconnecting to our original medicines.
Mushrooms are a phenomenal resource. They offer a sustainable food supply, they provide amazing health benefits that we're just beginning to understand, and they can be used in amazing ways as packaging and building materials. We hope to inspire more people to learn about and utilize these phenomenal fungi. Contact us if you have questions or want to know more about what we do. We love to connect with other fungi fans!

Sister of Mother Earth
Sister of Mother Earth sprouted to existence a decade ago in an aspiring community herbalist’s kitchen. Unique fire cider blends are made with local and foraged ingredients to create ultimate immune boosting concoctions. Herbal infused honeys, wild medicine and food are crafted with support from like-minded farmers and growers from the mountains of Western North Carolina. Reintroducing folk remedies and native wild foods to the communities in the area is the core of Sister of Mother Earth’s mission and dream.
