Aloha Medicinals

What Aloha Medicinals does

Aloha Medicinals, operating under the legal entity American Botanicals, is a privately held B2B manufacturer and supplier of organic functional mushroom ingredients headquartered at a 4610 Arrowhead Dr, Carson City, Nevada facility at 5,000 feet elevation. Founded in 1999 on Maui, the company acquired the Sunrise Spawn Company (originally Stoller Research Laboratory, 1955) in 2002 and relocated to Nevada in 2007, inheriting decades of mycology research. The core technology is climate-controlled cultivation of functional mushrooms on 100% US-grown organic sorghum, with DNA verification of all strains and heavy-metal testing with third-party verification of finished product.

The portfolio spans 10 top-selling species (Agaricus blazei, Chaga, Cordyceps militaris, Cordyceps sinensis, King Trumpet, Lion's Mane, Maitake, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail), 8 unique/niche strains (including Antrodia camphorata, Phellinus linteus, Poria cocos), and 4 custom blends (Immune Assist Blend, MyceliaGI, Cordyceps Blend, Reishi Blend) sold as bulk raw ingredients and via private-label arrangements. The company holds USDA Organic, Non-GMO, cGMP, FDA-audited, and BRCGS certifications, and maintains one of the largest privately held DNA-verified functional mushroom strain banks in the world with 1,200+ unique strains.

The business model is sales-led B2B wholesale with application-gated business pricing, quote-based (non-public) pricing, and minimum order quantities of 20 kg for bulk or 1 kg for smaller packages. Go-to-market targets product developers and manufacturers in nutraceuticals, food, and beverage through direct sales representatives, content marketing (blog), trade publications, and the Functional Mushroom Council. In 2025, the company carved its consumer-facing bottles/bags/K9 products into a separate sub-brand, OhanaMushrooms.com, leaving Aloha Medicinals focused on the bulk ingredient channel. The company employs 101–250 people, is privately held with no external funding rounds, and appointed a new VP of Sales (Tony Nguyen) in Q1–Q2 2026.
