Some Text on Tromsopp

---

Tromsopp has the aim to explore the fungi kingdom to unravel and utilize its potential.  We are first and foremost passionate about the cultivation of mushrooms and are convinced that fungi and their unique properties and capabilities can help society to solve problems of the present and the future. 

Tromsopp orients itself towards virtues of honesty, respect, courage, creativity, patience, modesty, helpfulness, loyalty and perserverance to have a long lasting positive impact. 

"We do what we do, because we think it is the right thing to do." 

Many mushrooms are edible, tasty, nutritious and are seen as culinary delicacies. Furthermore they can be grown on waste material and need little water and light. Mushrooms have the ability to produce complex bioactive compounds and many have proven health benefits for humans. Further the waste produced by a mushroom farm (Spent Mushroom Substrate) has applications in the fields of e.g. Bioremediation, Fertilization and Animal Feed.

We built a mushroom farm relying on local resources which aims to provide high quality mushrooms.

Later, we will explore the potential of medicinal mushrooms and further processing of mushrooms.

TromSopp will not only grow mushrooms but also start research activities on mushrooms and mushroom related topics that have the potential to solve problems of the presence and the future. Potential research topics include mushrooms for waste treatment, cultivation of local mushroom species to ensure food safety, exploration of the role of fungi in the ecosystem and how we can use them to protect the system in the future, dietary benefits, medicinal benefits, use as production platform for bioactive compounds or using the mycelium as novel material with unique properties for engineering applications e.g. building material.
