Tradd and Olga @ Mushroom Mountain
Welcome to the mushroom world. Let me introduce us real quick, we are Tradd and Olga, mushroomers in the South Eastern United States.

We love mushrooms, we eat mushrooms, we crave mushrooms all the time. Our posts on here will be purely fun and hopefully educational, and a way to tie in all of our online stuff.
We live in the Upstate, South Carolina, where we operate our experimental mushroom and herb farm. We keep expanding little by little by working hard and with help of our family and friends.
Tradd is a mushroom guru, being in the business for over 15 years, he is an expert in mushroom cultivation, always coming up with new and exciting methods. His future will involve bioremediating polluted and devastated habitats.
Olga is a web designer and multimedia specialist. She takes care of all the web stuff. But she also loves animals, mushrooms, and plants. She has started up an herb farm at Mushroom Mountain, and is experimenting with saving all the crops for the future medicinal and culinary uses. Her mom Dragica works in the medical industry and has always had books laying around about medicinal plants and their uses. Those were and still are Olga’s favorite books.
See you in the woods
Hi
Love your site. We currently live in FL but would love to move to the mountains and see that you can profit from mushrooms. Is this true? My family would love to move and find mushrooms for a living is ths Possible. I know it sounds crazy but my husband has worked at Disney for 22 years and I am a housewife and have 2 boys, We want to move and get a fresh start. I know it will be hard at first but I didnt know if I was dreaming haha. We would love to explore our options. If you have any information that would be great.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Angie.
You can profit from finding and selling mushrooms, but you would have to be out there mushroom hunting all the time, and remember in winter there aren’t alot of mushrooms out. Mushrooms are in our life 24/7, we are out hunting whenever possible, but we also have a supplemental income, and that is making mushroom spawn in our lab for commercial growers. Too bad you are not closer here, we could take you out mushroom hunting.
we also lived in Florida, down in Jupiter, and we moved because mushroom hunting in Florida is not as prolific as it is up in the Carolinas.
If you do want to go out mushroom hunting in Florida, go to the Ocala area, there are lots of msuhrooms in their state parks there, there are two books i can recommend for you to get, you can find them on amazon, one is “Mushrooms of the Southeastern United States”, and another is “Mushrooms of west Virginia and the central Appalachians”.
Let me know if you need anything else, I would love to help out in your future mushroom endeavors.
