About us
Where Nature 🌳 Meets Innovation
Surrounded by deep woods, our journey into the fascinating world of functional and medicinal mushrooms began.
Driven by a mission to craft highly effective functional mushroom supplements that truly elevate people's daily well-being, we created MISHKAY (derived from Miškai, the Lithuanian word for "forests")—our brand designed for the global stage.
We never forget where our roots lie as we step outward to win the hearts of consumers all across Europe and hopefully win yours ❤️
Super Premium 🍄
Nature’s Best for Daily Wellness
We craft top-tier medicinal and functional mushroom products utilizing the best of nature, including Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Chaga, Tremella, Shiitake, Maitake and more.
We use only certified organic mushrooms in our production and every product is research-based and designed to target specific lifestyle needs.
We are committed to a strict "zero-waste" philosophy, where nothing is thrown away, our modern mushroom farm is powered mostly by solar energy ☀️
🔬 Advanced Biotechnology & Science
In 2024, we tripled our investment from TESONET, a tech powerhouse and cybersecurity unicorn, which was valued at 3 billion euros in the same year.
This allowed us to invest heavily in advanced production & laboratory equipment. As a result, we successfully launched our new line of uniquely formulated, proprietary products.
Our expanding team was also joined by incredible new people to help us achieve our ambitious future goals. (P.S. One of them even worked on a NASA project—because growing mushrooms on Mars definitely has potential! 🧑🚀)
Story
From a tiny family farm into one of the few fully vertically integrated mushroom companies in Europe. By managing everything from cultivation to final manufacturing, our ultimate goal is to control every single step of the process. Why? To guarantee that what you see on the label is exactly what you get—a level of transparency that is becoming increasingly rare in the supplement industry.
Whether you are an individual looking for premium mushroom supplements for your daily wellness, or a business seeking a reliable, uncompromising partner—look no further.

Audrius
CTO & Co-founder
A MAN of many things 💪
Audrius is the one who originally sparked the idea to start growing mushrooms. Drawing on his extensive background in designing equipment and complex machinery, he began a series of experiments—the successful results of which have since landed on the plates and in the stomachs of countless Lithuanians.
Bringing heavyweight experience as a Production Manager, Chief Engineer, and Mechatronics Engineer from major tech companies like TELTONIKA, DEEPER, and others, his technical expertise keeps our state-of-the-art facility running flawlessly. Thanks to his precision, we can confidently say that we mess things up a whole lot less 😊
Matas
Chief Biotechnologist
Just a dude who happens to work on NASA 🛸🪐
A PhD Candidate in the Mycology and Chemistry (perfect supplement combo). His scientific background is nothing short of extraordinary. He is a proud participant of the NASA "Deep Space Food Challenge," where he co-developed an "Autonomous fungi and vegetable cultivation symbiotic eco-system."
His doctoral research at the Institute of Botany focuses on microorganisms for the biocontrol of fungal tree pathogens, following a Master’s thesis at the Institute of Biotechnology dedicated to synthesizing organic compounds with anti-cancer properties. With past roles as an Investigator at the Lithuanian Forensic Science Centre's Chemical Research Department, a Chemist at power plant and a Researcher at the Botanical Garden, he brings immense scientific rigor to our lab.
Ultimately, he is simply a guy who is absolutely crazy about mushrooms 🍄 and all sorts of chemical compounds ☢️
Nature. Calm.
