I was born in 1989 in the Sarntal valley in South Tyrol and grew up on our farm "Bernholz" at an altitude of 1,100 meters. Even as a child, I was fascinated by nature – and especially by the mysterious world of mushrooms.

When I switched my diet from a meat-based to a plant-based focus, the idea for my own mushroom cultivation was born. In 2023, I founded my own business , Naked Funghi Organic Mushroom Farm – a farm project that combines nature, sustainability, and innovation.

Today, I cultivate shiitake, king oyster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, lion's mane, pink oyster mushrooms, lemon oyster mushrooms, and pioppino mushrooms in containers. All within a sustainable, circular economy, using raw materials from Italy – preferably from South Tyrol.

My goal: to make the diversity and power of edible and medicinal mushrooms more visible. Not just as food, but as a lifestyle.
