About Ethan

My name is Ethan Shiverdecker, I own and operate The Natural Connection Mushroom Company. I first tried growing mushrooms in 2020. I started with simple oyster mushroom grows, learning along the way. I moved on to shiitake and other more procedurally challenging mushrooms. I started offering mushrooms to local restaurants in 2022 and did my first farmer's market in 2024. It has been an honor to provide rare, and quality produce to local customers. Recently I have started growing Cordyceps militaris. I truly believe in the power and potential of natural alternatives. Humans have lived alongside nature for our entire existence, only recently have we shifted towards manufactured medicine. I believe the most meaningful medicines we can consume will come from the world we evolved with, not a laboratory. The goal and motivation of The Natural Connection Mushroom Company is to reconnect humans with the offerings of the natural world.
