About Us
We discovered a better way to deliver high-quality mushroom ingredients to South Africa, and then we made it happen.
ABOUT HOLY SHIITAKE
Welcome to Holy Shiitake — where fungi meets the future.
We’re not just South Africa’s leading mushroom store — we’re a movement. From our facility in Honeydew, Johannesburg, we grow, innovate, and empower a new generation of mushroom enthusiasts, wellness seekers, and urban growers.
Our mission? To make mushrooms mainstream — in health, in the kitchen, and in everyday life.
We produce high-performance gourmet and medicinal mushrooms and transform them into powerful wellness products, functional extracts, and culinary tools. Whether you’re blending up nootropics, cooking with umami-rich powders, or building your own mushroom farm, we’ve got you covered.
We’re also your trusted supply hub for cultivation essentials:
-
Grain spawn

Mushroom grain/grow bags
-
Ready-to-fruit blocks

Liquid cultures
Want to grow your own? Join our workshops and training sessions — built for everyone from kitchen-counter hobbyists to commercial cultivators. No fluff, just real-world skills that get you growing faster and smarter.
We’re a walk-in store and we welcome all visitors — curious minds, mycophiles, and hardcore growers alike.
At Holy Shiitake, we believe mushrooms are the future — and the future is local, sustainable, and deeply rooted in community.
Come visit. Learn. Grow. Let’s build the mushroom revolution together.
