The Shrumei story

Built by a bathroom shelf that failed us first

Shrumei began as a research habit, not a business plan — a founder's search for mushroom science that actually understood Indian skin.

The beginning

Small experiments, six years

  • 2021Research

    Reading everything, believing nothing

    It started as a reading habit, not a business plan.
  • 2022First prototype

    A mist that was, honestly, not very good

    Prototyping taught us what no paper could.
  • 2023Breakthrough

    Fermentation, finally

    The mushroom stopped being a story and became the mechanism.
