Doug Williams and Shiitake Mama (formerly Sandra Dutreau Williams, PhD) started growing shiitake mushrooms in the 1980s. In 1992, they opened Lost Creek Mushroom Farm, Inc.

Now, as Shiitake Mama Mushrooms, they grow medicinal mushrooms and talk, write and teach about mushrooms ~ how to grow them, how they support all life on earth, and how they can benefit our health and wellbeing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. “Messages from Mushrooms” are posted on Facebook and Instagram and here on the Blog. Shiitake Mama is collecting the messages into a book.

Messages from Mushrooms
with Shiitake Mama

“Mushrooms are more than food and fuel. They are proven healers for humans, animals, plants, and the Earth. And they are more: From our simple white button mushrooms to life-changing psychedelics, fungi and mushrooms are spiritual teachers. Spiritual healing and wellbeing could be their most important impact on humans.” 
– Shiitake Mama

Shiitake Mama is a psychic channeler who has been communicating with mushrooms for over a decade.
