Golden Gills Mushrooms

Golden Gills Mushrooms is a woman-owned and women-led indoor mushroom farm operating out of a 5,000-square-foot facility in Wauconda, Illinois. The farm cultivates gourmet and functional mushrooms and produces a range of mushroom-based products. Its two primary product lines are dried mushrooms (including whole dried mushrooms, lion's mane powder, and a mushroom seasoning blend) and an apothecary line of functional mushroom tinctures. Tincture varieties include reishi, cordyceps, chaga, maitake, turkey tail, and lion's mane, available individually or in curated bundles. Golden Gills also participates in a year-round CSA and fresh market in partnership with Elawa Farm Foundation, and donates excess harvests to a local food pantry.
