The Mushroom Insider

My name is Hamilton Pevec, and I didn’t start this company to follow trends. I started it because I couldn’t find what I knew was possible—mushroom extracts that were truly potent, purely mushroom, and transparently made. So I built it myself.

You see, I’m not just a forager or a mushroom geek—I’m an industry insider. I’ve worked behind the curtain for some of the largest supplement and wellness brands on the planet. I know what they’re really selling. I’ve seen the watered-down formulas, the misleading extract ratios, the maltodextrin-filled "30% polysaccharide" tricks. And I’ve watched companies turn functional mushrooms into sugary gimmicks—gummies, lattes, candy-coated capsules—while charging premium prices for low-potency products.

So I became the disruptor. No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just actual mushrooms, extracted with precision, at potencies that actually shift your physiology—and nothing else.

My journey started long before this company. In 2009, I found myself deep in the Trinity Alps of Northern California on a mushroom hunt with a local expert. That moment sparked a lifelong obsession. I carried Mushrooms Demystified like scripture, teaching myself to identify new species every season. Mycology became more than a hobby—it became a compass.

Years later, while living off-grid in Nepal running an organic farm and yoga retreat with my wife, we deepened our commitment to health, sustainability, and self-reliance. When we returned to the U.S. to care for my grandfather during his decline with dementia, I discovered the profound potential of functional mushrooms—not just as food, but as medicine. They helped me heal, focus, stay strong, and feel grounded in the chaos of life. That’s when the mission became clear.

Hamilton’s Mushrooms isn’t here to ride the wave. We’re here to raise the standard. Every extract we offer is USDA certified organic, third-party tested, and extracted for maximum potency—without dilution, fillers, or marketing games. If you want mushroom candy, you’ll have to look elsewhere. But if you’re ready for mushrooms that actually do something, welcome.

We’re here to educate, empower, and equip you with the truth about fungi—through our extracts, through films, through events, and through community. The gate is open. Come on in.
