Our Mission
Our mission is to support mental, physical, and overall wellbeing through the cultivation and use of medicinal and functional mushrooms. We are driven by the belief that natural solutions can play a meaningful role in improving everyday health, from enhancing focus and energy to supporting relaxation and recovery.
We aim to create innovative products that help individuals manage common challenges such as stress, fatigue, and lack of mental clarity. At the same time, we strive to promote a more mindful approach to health, encouraging people to become more aware of what they put into their bodies and how it affects their daily lives.
By combining the power of mushrooms with thoughtful formulation, we seek to unlock their potential in a way that is accessible, effective, and aligned with modern lifestyles.

Our Team
Donny is a father, small business owner, entrepreneur, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Purple Belt, and mycologist.
He sees MycoFocus as more than a product, but as a labor of love that reflects his journey, passion, and beliefs.
When he’s in the office, he works on building his business by coaching his sales and service team in order to grow. He learned very early on that you have to work ON your business, not for your business. He had to recruit, coach, and trust that his team could work for his business, while he works on growing it.
When Donny is not working on his business, he loves to be in nature and being outside in all weather conditions. There is nothing he loves more than getting up at 4am on Saturday while it has been a blizzard all night and driving up to the mountains in white knuckle conditions to spend the day catching fresh powder turns all day.
Above all else, Donny cherishes the time he gets to spend with his son. Being a father has completely changed his life and given him a new type of love that he didn’t even know existed.
In a society obsessed with external validation and the never-ending “rat race,” he’s discovered that true happiness comes from within. The pursuit of happiness isn’t about accumulating material possessions or seeking approval from others, It’s about helping others find their potential and elevating everyone’s life whom you come in contact with.
Donny’s mission is to empower individuals to break free from the constraints of modern society and find their own paths to happiness, productivity, and fulfillment. Nature has provided us with incredible tools, like the magic of mushrooms and the potential of nootropics to unlock our full potential and live life on our own terms.
Rachelle is the dynamic VP of Sales/Marketing and Partner at MycoFocus. Her commitment to wellness stems from a deeply personal journey. As a mother, she finds strength and inspiration in her almost 8-year-old son, following the heartbreaking loss of her oldest son to a brain bleed shortly after birth. This profound experience fuels her drive to help others achieve better health.
Raised in a small mountain town, Rachelle developed a deep love for the mountains and an adventurous spirit. She is an avid snowboarder, finding joy and freedom on the slopes. These passions influence her work, infusing it with a sense of vitality and connection to nature. Her background as a dancer and entertainer, combined with her street smarts, gives her a unique perspective and dynamic approach to business. Known as a social butterfly, she easily connects with people, building meaningful and lasting relationships.
Believing in the healing power of natural remedies, Rachelle is dedicated to creating products that enhance well-being. At MycoFocus, she merges her personal experiences, love for the mountains, and passion for wellness to offer the best in medicinal mushroom supplements. Her story is one of resilience, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on others’ lives.
As an Herbal Educator at Nature’s Way in the mid-to-late 90’s, I greatly enjoyed formulating synergistic products that incorporated herbs, vitamins and minerals. By thoughtfully combining co-factors known to cross the blood brain barrier, along with complementary herbs, the effective blends I crafted, were just what consumers and retailers throughout North America were looking for at the time.
Today I’m lucky to partner with the creators of MycoFocus, to design medicinal mushroom products targeted to what everyone needs today – sharp mental clarity and cognition, and blissful sleep.
As a Registered Dietitian in Colorado Springs with two decades of experience as a medical provider, I assist patients with their individual medical and wellness concerns. In my practice, I design plans that fully address each person’s specific dietary and nutritional needs. My familiarity with cutting-edge products designed to fuel active lifestyles, sports of all kinds, and assist with disease prevention, allows
me to offer comprehensive care plans to each client.
“I see the mycelium as the Earth’s natural Internet, a consciousness with which we might be able to communicate.”
Mycologist
You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.
People think focus means saying yes to the thing you got to focus on. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully.
Our Philosophy
At the core of MycoFocus® is the belief that science and nature are not separate, but deeply connected. We are committed to bridging the gap between traditional practices and modern research, using both to guide how our products are developed.
We value transparency, quality, and continuous learning. As interest in functional mushrooms continues to grow, we remain dedicated to staying informed, refining our formulations, and exploring new ways to support overall wellbeing.
Our approach is not about quick fixes. Instead, we focus on creating products that support long term balance, helping individuals build sustainable habits that enhance their quality of life over time.
Our Story
The idea behind MycoFocus® began with a simple realization. In today’s fast paced world, distractions are constant and maintaining focus, energy, and balance can be difficult. We wanted to create something that could naturally support clarity and help people stay aligned with their goals.
What started as a personal passion for mushrooms gradually evolved into a deeper exploration of their potential benefits. Through research, experimentation, and hands-on experience, we developed a strong foundation that eventually led to the creation of MycoFocus®.
Our journey reflects a commitment to growth, both as individuals and as a brand. Every step has been guided by curiosity, learning, and a desire to share the benefits of functional mushrooms with others.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to grow, our focus remains on creating high quality, functional mushroom products that support a more balanced and mindful lifestyle. We are committed to ongoing research, product innovation, and building a community centered around wellness, education, and personal growth.
Whether you are looking to improve focus, enhance sleep, or support overall wellbeing, our goal is to provide solutions that fit seamlessly into your life.
