Big Step - New production space
This year, we decided to take the next big step.
We invested almost all of our savings and moved into a new space in the city—a beautiful place with real potential to grow. There is a lot to build, install, and optimize. The first months will be intense and demanding.
But growth requires commitment.
Right now, our absolute priority is simple:Produce our first mushrooms successfully in the new space and stabilize operations.
Step by step
What’s Coming Next?
Even while focusing on production, we are preparing the next chapters of Meisterpilze.
This year, we will begin a very exciting and promising research project. It’s still too early to share details—but we can say that it builds on our scientific background and long-term vision of using fungi beyond food.
At the same time, we are planning to expand into mushroom supplements and tinctures in the future. Functional fungi hold enormous potential, and we want to develop high-quality, science-based products when the time is right.
But one thing we have learned:Strong foundations first.
Before expanding, before scaling, before diversifying — we focus on mastering our new farm
We Are Not Alone
Meisterpilze is only possible because we have a fantastic support!
Our families accept long hours and missed weekends.Our friends help in exchange for fresh mushrooms.Our customers at the Erlangen Marktplatz return week after week with encouragement and smiles that fuel our motivation.
And a very special thank you to Jana — our marketing mastermind and Piri’s mom. An engineer with a passion for photography, she is responsible for almost everything you see on our website and online presence. If you ever need creative mind— she’s your person 😊
More Than Mushrooms
Meisterpilze is:
A union of science and nature
A local experiment in sustainable food systems
A research platform growing step by step
A shared dream
We believe fungi are more than food.They are materials. Medicine. Innovation.
And we are just getting started.
Meisterpilze is our small contribution to a tastier, greener, and more conscious future.
