In the pristine forests of Estonia, where Viking warriors once roamed, a quiet revolution is taking place. The country’s ancient relationship with functional mushrooms, particularly the powerful chaga that grows on birch trees, is being transformed into a modern wellness movement with global implications.

Silver Laus, partner and CEO of mycotechnology company Shroomwell, is at the forefront of this revolution, combining Estonia’s historical resilience with cutting-edge extraction technology to produce some of the world’s most powerful mushroom supplements.

The wellness sector, fuelled by preventive healthcare and a generational shift in consumer behaviour, is growing faster than the healthcare industry. Biohacking industry on the other hand is growing 4x faster than the pharmaceutical industry.
