Our Journey: From Curiosity to WebSci

Founded in 2019, WebSci was born out of a deep passion for the fascinating world of mushrooms. What started as a hobby for our founders, Jessica Lee and Michael Grant, quickly transformed into a full-fledged exploration of mycology—ranging from edible varieties to the most mysterious fungi growing in the wild. The pair combined their scientific curiosity with their love for nature, aiming to create a resource for mushroom enthusiasts, researchers, and explorers alike.

At WebSci, we believe that mushrooms offer far more than meets the eye. Whether you’re interested in gourmet recipes, health benefits, or learning about wild mushroom foraging, our website is here to provide valuable, trustworthy information for both beginners and experts.
