Our Roots
Mālama Mushrooms founded & fruited on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2015. Originally a small farm using a lava formed cave as a mushroom fruiting chamber, we expanded into value-added product creation, education, and activism; all in the name of unearthing the enormous potential of mushrooms in our society.
Our Mission
'Mālama' is the Hawaiian word for protect, preserve, & nurture. From educating on the use & benefits of medicinal mushroom superfoods to sharing our products that contain them, this serves as the standard for all the work that we do.

Benjamin Lillibridge
Founder & Funguy
In 2015, Ben produced his first Hawaiian-grown mushroom fruits in an old lava cave in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. His mushroom mission has only expanded from there. Ben now creates fun, friendly, easy-to-use medicinal (or fung-tional) mushroom products. He is working on studying the native mushrooms of Hawai'i, identifying novel chemical compounds in them, and hopefully sharing that with the world.
