What Myzel Organics does

Myzel Organics is a privately held, family-owned Canadian company that produces certified-organic, full-spectrum functional mushroom powders in bulk for B2B buyers. Founded in 2021 and operating commercially from a retrofitted former poultry farm in Wainfleet, Ontario since mid-2023, the company cultivates 12 species — including Reishi, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Maitake, Shiitake, Poria, Oyster, King Oyster, Beech, and Almond — using a proprietary process that combines mycelium, fermented sorghum substrate, and fruiting bodies grown in a sterile positive-pressure cleanroom.

The underlying technology is vertically integrated controlled-environment agriculture: a 60-tonne geothermal ground source loop, radiant heat, thermal barriers, and energy recovery ventilation reduce facility energy consumption to less than 20% of a typical building, with rainwater recapture supporting the cook process. Total production impact is reported at 0.552 kg CO2-equivalent per kilogram of mushroom powder. The facility holds SQF, GMP, HACCP, USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Ecocert Organic certifications, allowing Myzel to issue Certificates of Analysis and sell into regulated nutraceutical supply chains.

The business model is exclusively B2B bulk ingredient sales. Revenue is generated through quote-based contracts with nutraceutical, supplement, functional food and beverage, CPG, pet care, cosmetics, and livestock-nutrition manufacturers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are conducted through a website contact form, phone, and WhatsApp. Customers named publicly include Purica and Provita, two Canadian nutraceutical brands that publicly endorse the partnership. Leadership comprises CEO Emily Roberts and Co-Founder Markus Sadaka, with Andrea Wood serving as Head of Marketing.
