About us

“Fungi are more than a source of food. They are invisible architects of the world, quietly shaping nature and influencing our everyday lives from birth to our final breath. They may also offer new possibilities for supporting well-being and building a more sustainable future.”

Who are we?

grybupasaulis.lt – more than a blog or an online store. It is an invitation to explore, be surprised and discover the incredible stories of fungi that quietly influence our everyday lives.

Our goal is to reveal the remarkable potential of fungi in addressing some of today’s biggest challenges, from developing more sustainable materials to exploring products and compounds that may contribute to everyday well-being.

Here you will find:

  • A blog filled with fascinating stories about fungi and the world they create around us.

  • Science-based information about functional mushrooms, their compounds and current research.

  • Carefully selected, high-quality functional mushroom extracts, chosen with particular attention to quality and reliability.

  • A variety of mushroom and foraging-related products, from T-shirts and journals to mushroom knives, specialist books and games.

  • Invitations to educational walks, talks and camps, where we explore and learn about the fascinating world of fungi together.

Aurelia Plukė

Aurelija is the founder of "Grybų pasaulis" (Mushroom World), an educator, blogger, amateur mycologist, and the creator and host of the only television show about mushrooms, "Jei ne grybai" (If Not for Mushrooms), as well as an ambassador for the "Sengirė" Foundation. Aurelija is also the founder of "Your Daily Fungi," a brand of functional mushroom products. She founded "Grybų pasaulis" driven by curiosity about mushrooms, which, though they surround us daily, remain largely unknown.

"Grybupasaulis.lt was born out of my love for nature and a desire to understand the world that lies beyond what one perceives at first glance. Mushrooms became not only a delicious find in the forest for me but also an opportunity to look anew at the nature around us and the ecosystems within it, intricately linked by complex interdependencies. By photographing, exploring, and sharing my discoveries, I aim to inspire others to get to know this mysterious world. Mushrooms are already used in various industries today, and their potential is enormous. My goal is to spread mushroom spores and help open the doors to this extraordinary, all-encompassing world."
