Hey, I am Wes Anderson, founder of Elevated Spores LLC. I am a wild mushroom forager from Minnesota. Many years ago I found the power of functional mushrooms when I was studying at a University and was getting overwhelmed with stress and fatigue. This weakened my immune system, as a result I got sick and ended up failing one of my classes. A very expensive cold, wouldn't you say?

I have always been a science-based skeptic and didn't really buy the whole supplement industry but out of disparity, I started researching how to improve my immune function and I stumbled upon some blogs about Chaga. This excited me because I knew I could go out and forage some. So I thought I would give it a try. I packed up my foraging bag, a hatchet and other foraging essentials and hit the woods. It took me a few weeks to find my first Chaga and I can't really express to you how exciting it is, you have to experience it for yourself. 

I learned how to brew the tea and since that day I have not been sick, that was over 10 years ago. This led me down the path I am on today, a very scientific research paper and PubMed filled path, I might say. 

Not only have functional mushrooms helped my immune system, but they have also lowered my  stress levels, improved my blood pressure and improved my gut health, inflammation, energy and focus. 

In 2019 I decided to share these mushroom extracts with the world.
