Hello
My name is Ricardo E. Mirelez, and I’m an amateur mycologist and licensed wild mushroom forager in the state of Minnesota. Born and raised in the beautiful — yet bitter cold — heart of Minneapolis, my love for mushrooms began right here in the woods, parks, and city spaces of the Twin Cities.
Fungi are everywhere, quietly thriving and sustaining life. My mission is to share that vitality through my handcrafted mushroom tinctures and fresh, organic culinary mushrooms — grown and foraged with care, intention, and respect for the natural world.
Thank you, with so much love,
Healing Spore: Medicinal & Culinary Mushrooms LLC
My Story
Growing up with a heart condition taught me early on the importance of embracing life’s joys and caring for the body that carries us. Like many, I faced personal challenges — including struggles with addiction in my youth — but it was the reality of my health that ultimately led me down a path of healing, reflection, and renewal.
That path brought me to the world of natural medicine and, more specifically, to mushrooms. As I explored holistic healing, I found myself captivated by the power and mystery of the fungal kingdom. I deepened my understanding through hands-on experience — foraging, volunteering, and traveling across the United States to study mycology in real-world environments.
Eventually, that passion and purpose took shape in the form of Healing Spore: Medicinal & Culinary Mushrooms LLC. As a licensed wild mushroom forager in the state of Minnesota, I now craft high-quality double-extracted tinctures from organically grown and ethically wild-harvested mushrooms, alongside gourmet culinary varieties.
Having seen how health challenges affect those I love, I’m driven to create offerings that support the body, mind, and spirit. I’m grateful for the journey that brought me here — and proud to share these healing gifts with my community and beyond.
