We’ve been building, testing, and refining this long before this brand existed.
What you see now is just the next step.

How it started
It didn’t start with a brand. It started with trying to build something that simply works.
From 2020, I spent almost two years developing a product that would actually deliver consistent results. It was a period of testing, adjustments, and constantly coming back to one question:
”“How is it possible that I keep doing the same thing, and the outcome is still different?”
That question stayed with me long after.
The answer was simple, just uncomfortable.
I wasn’t doing the same thing.
It only seemed that way.
Small differences in conditions were enough to change the outcome completely, and every attempt to scale broke the process again.
A lot of things didn’t work.
Some experiments ended in smoke. Others failed without any clear reason.
And it kept repeating.
Until something finally became consistent.
It wasn’t a single breakthrough.
It was dozens of small corrections that eventually started working together.
At first, I shared it with friends.
Then came friends of friends.
And more.
The first batches looked like something made in a garage.
Masking tape, a marker, a short code and a date.
But the results were there.
Orders started to grow. Too many for one person to handle.
That’s when the first person joined and helped replicate what had previously existed only in my head.
Scaling up
At some point, we started running out of everything.
Space and time.
We were operating across two small buildings, plus a storage area under the stairs. Every extra bit of space helped, but only for a moment.
Demand was growing faster than we could keep up.
We had to take the next step.
We moved into a 130 m² space and invested in our first serious sterilizer.
That was the moment it stopped feeling like an experiment.
It became a company.
The product itself was already stable.
The challenges shifted elsewhere.
At that scale, new limitations started to appear. At one point, even something as basic as air became a constraint.
Then came people.
Suddenly, everything carried more weight.
A single mistake could mean losses that didn’t matter before.
Four hands were no longer enough.
We started building a team capable of repeating the process with the same precision, every time.
That’s when one thing became clear.
This cannot scale if everything depends on one person.
The process has to work independently.
A different level
One day, I opened an email.
A message from a large European marketplace.
They had seen the product, the reviews, and wanted to work with us.
I went for a walk.
It was an opportunity.
And at the same time, a point where everything could fall apart.
The challenge wasn’t growth itself.
We didn’t have enough people, space, or equipment to handle it.
We had to prepare the company for scale while negotiations were still ongoing.
Be ready, but not dependent on a decision that hadn’t been made yet.
That’s when we moved into a 500 m² facility.
The product was already stable.
But maintaining that level of consistency at scale is a different game.
More machines. More filtration. More control.
Every detail mattered, because every mistake was amplified.
This was no longer local.
Everything had to be reconsidered: quality, sourcing, consistency.
At times, it meant going far beyond the local market just to ensure that every component met the same standard.
It came with pressure.
But we delivered.
The product performed well.
Customers were satisfied.
The feedback was strong.
But it wasn’t under our name.
And over time, that gap became impossible to ignore.
Years of work, constant problem solving, refining every detail, and in the end, someone else stood in front of the customer.
That wasn’t why this company was built.
It was no longer just a decision.
It was the next step that had to happen.
To step out, and finally put our own name on it.
To step out, and finally put our own name on it.

I started Mykolab after a sudden, life-changing injury
After a serious spinal injury, I was forced to stop and rebuild my life from scratch.
The physical recovery was one thing.
Mentally, it was something else.
I didn’t want to go down the obvious path and take antidepressants, so I started looking for alternatives.
That search led me into the world of fungi.
What started as curiosity quickly turned into obsession — understanding the process, learning how it works, and eventually building something that could be repeated and shared.
That’s where Mykolab began.
Not as a brand, but as a way out.
This is what it looks like today
What started as a way out turned into a way of life.
At first, it was just about solving my own problem.
Now it’s something I build, develop, and genuinely enjoy doing.
Over time, everything started to come together.
The process, the people, the product.
It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t easy, but it became something real.
And when it finally starts working the way it should —
you don’t stop.
