Purchasing Restrictions Removed
To Our Valued Customers,
Temporary Purchasing Parameters Removed!
One year ago, in an effort to meet the needs of as many people as possible, we implemented a temporary purchasing policy limiting the quantity of items allowed for each purchase. We are pleased to announce that we are removing those restrictions!
We are no longer limiting purchases to 4 units of a given item with a maximum of 12 total units per purchase.
Good News About Inventory
In addition to the implementation of purchasing parameters, you may have noticed that our product availability has fluctuated on a weekly basis over the last year. One of the main challenges we’ve faced is a result of important Covid safety protocols affecting the entire supply chain. From manufacturers to packaging to shipping, Covid safety has been a top priority.
We support the efforts that our partners have taken to ensure the safety of their workers, even when it has resulted in slower turnaround times. Another Covid-related challenge has been a higher demand for certain packaging items, including PCR plastic and spray bottles - much of which was redirected to fulfill items like sanitizer and cleaning supplies - have been in low supply.
But, we have good news! We expect that our product availability will continue to increase in the coming months and we look forward to once again offering our full supplement line. We want you to know that we appreciate your patience, understanding, and loyalty during this last year and we are proud to be your choice for mushroom mycelium-based supplements.
Sincerely,
The Team at Fungi Perfecti and Host Defense

A Few Purchasing Reminders
To Our Valued Customers,
Your Health Is Our Priority
We hope you're finding ways to remain hopeful, happy, and healthy during this time. Our priority has continued to be supporting you and your loved ones during what has been an unpredictable and challenging time. We are doing everything we can to expand our capabilities, including increasing our regular rotation of available supplements and expanding our research efforts surrounding immunity and immune support. Stay tuned for more updates on these fronts!
Purchasing Parameters
Due to inventory challenges in March and April, we implemented temporary purchasing parameters in an effort to ensure that as many customers as possible could access the supplements they need. While we have kept a weekly rotation of products available for purchase, we have not yet fully replenished our inventory, so the purchasing parameters will remain in place until further notice.
Inventory
We are working hard to restore a full selection of inventory across the entire Host Defense® product line. Available items can be found on our Shop Available Supplements page. If an item you want to purchase is currently sold out, you can click on the link ‘Notify me when available’ and provide your email address. Once it is back in stock, we’ll send you a notification. We appreciate your patience while we continue to replenish our inventory.
Order Processing
We are currently processing and fulfilling orders within 3 business days. Please see our shipping policy for estimated transit times. Please note that the estimated transit times do not include order processing and fulfillment. And don’t hesitate to reach out to us via email at info@fungi.com if you have any questions or concerns we haven’t addressed. While our Customer Service team is still safely working from home, our phone lines continue to be operational.
Each of our departments are working safely and diligently, responding in real-time to evolving circumstances. It has been our honor to continue serving you during these challenging times.

We’re All In This Together
To Our Valued Customers,
The last few weeks have been truly unprecedented and have brought about changes to how we operate in nearly every aspect of our business. We have appreciated your patience and understanding as we have experienced inventory shortages, delivery delays, and a shift in operating procedures. As a company, we have responded to this rapidly evolving health crisis by prioritizing the health and safety of our team members, our local community, and our valued customers.
Our Team Members
We have invested in new equipment so that the majority of our staff can work from the safety of their homes. And to ensure the safety of employees still working on-site, we have implemented social distancing standards at our farm, in our warehouse, and in the office. This includes staggering shifts so fewer employees are on-site at a time, and supplying each employee working on-site with PPE. Additionally, we have provided face masks to all employees to support their health and safety both at work and in the community.
Our Local Community
One of our manufacturing partners and personal friend of Paul has pivoted from their usual production to make PPE. We are fortunate to have this resource and have placed an order for 2,500 surgical masks to donate to several local hospitals. The manufacturer has contributed as well, bringing the total number of masks that are going to our local frontline healthcare workers to 4,000.
Our Valued Customers
The entire Fungi Perfecti and Host Defense family is united in our efforts to overcome the challenges we are facing and to continue serving the community we all care so much about – that includes you, your family, your friends, and your neighbors. While we’ve always known our customers are the driving force behind everything we do, this moment in time is serving as a stark reminder of our core mission: To support the health and well-being of people and planet.
We appreciate your business, we value your health, and we’re grateful to be your trusted source for immune support.
Sincerely,
The Team at Fungi Perfecti and Host Defense

Fungi Perfecti and Host Defense Remain Operational
To Our Valued Customers,
Many of you may know that our farm, distribution center, and main office are all located in Washington state. In light of the continued spread of COVID-19 and following the advice of many medical experts, our governor has issued a state-wide “stay-at-home” order for the health and safety of everyone here.
As part of this order, under the categories of Agriculture and Dietary Supplements, Fungi Perfecti/Host Defense is considered an essential business for the vital support we offer our customers. Due to this designation, our company will remain operational in order to provide essential products and services.
While we will remain open during the two-week “stay-at-home” order, we have taken the following steps to ensure that we minimize the risk of spreading the virus:
- Employees who are sick are expected to remain home
- All employees were given additional sick time to ensure a broad coverage of support
- Additional sanitizing protocols have been implemented
- Employees who are able to work from home are doing so
Please note that our hours of operation are occasionally going to be limited as we work to process a heavy backlog of orders. This will affect the availability of our customer service team to answer phones and will create a delay in email response times.
We appreciate your patience and support and look forward to providing more updates as soon as we have them. This includes more information about when we will begin accepting orders on our websites again. Visit this page regularly as we will post new details as they become available. Also, feel free to email info@fungi.com with specific questions.
In this time of extreme circumstances and extreme measures, we are grateful to have the opportunity to continue serving you.
Sincerely,
The Team at Fungi Perfecti and Host Defense
