About Kingdom Fungi

Our Story

Kingdom Fungi was founded in 2023 by Kingsmen, a team of mycologists, veterinarians, and dog lovers united by a shared mission: to harness nature's most powerful fungi for canine wellness. Frustrated by the lack of science-backed, natural solutions for common dog health issues, we developed the world's first line of mushroom-based dog treats formulated by veterinary nutritionists.

Our Philosophy

We believe in:

The Intelligence of Nature – Using mushrooms that have evolved over millennia to support immune and cognitive function
Transparent Science – Every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency
Ethical Sourcing – Partnering only with organic mushroom farms and wild foragers who practice regenerative harvesting

The Kingdom Fungi Difference

1. Clinically-Researched Ingredients

Our treats feature functional mushrooms with peer-reviewed studies for canine health:

Turkey Tail (Coriolus versicolor): FDA-approved for animal immunotherapy trials
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum): Shown in Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine to reduce anxiety markers by 37%
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus): Rich in antioxidants that support senior dog mobility

2. Precision Formulation

Unlike generic mushroom powders, our recipes are:

Strain-Specific – Using only the most bioactive mushroom parts (fruiting bodies, not mycelium)
Bioavailability Boosted – Paired with organic coconut oil to enhance nutrient absorption
Breed-Tailored – Different formulations for small (<20 lbs), medium (20-50 lbs), and large (50+ lbs) dogs

3. From Forest to Bowl

Our vertically integrated process ensures quality:

Wild Harvesting – Sustainably foraged in Pacific Northwest old-growth forests (permitted by USDA)
Low-Temp Extraction – Preserving delicate beta-glucans at our FDA-registered facility
Treat Creation – Slow-baked with free-range chicken liver for palatability
