At the Roots of Aloha Medicinals
Aloha Medicinals started out on the island of Maui by a group of scientists and health care experts interested in growing Reishi, Cordyceps, and other medicinally important mushroom species. With our first lab built in the spring of 1999 in Haiku, Maui, Aloha Medicinals was focused on producing organic cordyceps and medicinal mushrooms of the highest quality right from the beginning. This approach quickly paid off with customer demand. In the Spring of 2002, the company moved to Santa Cruz, California, where we took over the Sunrise Spawn Company, which had originally been the Stoller Research Laboratory.
Dr. Benjamin Stoller, who started Stoller Research in Santa Cruz back in 1955, was one of the pioneers in the field of Mushroom cultivation, especially the cultivation of button mushrooms. When Aloha Medicinals took over the research facility we gained a fully qualified staff, manufacturing equipment, and we also inherited all of Dr. Stoller’s original research material on mushrooms.
About the Doc
Doc Stoller, as he was known throughout the industry, died in 1989, and though much of his research had already been published, we obtained all of Doc Stoller’s lab notebooks on projects he had worked on for over 60 years. Some were dead ends, others were projects that had started and petered out for one reason or another, and some of these were projects that lead to patented breakthroughs in the field of Mushroom Cultivation.
This wealth of information was one of the reasons Aloha Medicinals catapulted to the top of the medicinal mushroom supplements industry in just a few short years. By the summer of 2007, demand increased for our products to the point where we had to look outside the Santa Cruz facility for our product manufacturing. In June 2007, we moved our entire operation to Carson City, Nevada, right at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. At an elevation of 5,000 ft, this is the ideal location for maintaining climate control growing conditions (including the reduced air pressure necessary for producing the world’s most potent medicinal mushroom species).
