As soon as Thomas Weipert was big enough to climb over small logs, he began mushroom hunting with his father. In the 1980s, whoever found the most morels after school on any given day was crowned The Mushroom King. Guess who always won the crown? You got it! Tom Weipert has been known as The Mushroom King ever since those days in high school. Since then, as an experienced chef, he has learned foraging from forest to plate and prepare mushrooms for using fresh or preserving for later. Edible mushrooms and herbs he includes are Morels, Chanterelles, Hen of the Woods, Lobster, King Bolete, Black Trumpets, Candy Cap plus more! Other forest delights include  Stinging Nettles, ramps, Henbit, Purple Dead Nettle. His love for sharing the delicious and nutritious mushroom has led to his creation of soup mixes and seasonings for sale on his website.  The Mushroom King is excited to be part of the upcoming documentary project Life of a Mushroom.
