Our story
MycoMedica d.o.o. is not just another mushroom product company.
It is the result of many years of research curiosity, in-depth knowledge and sincere dedication to the world of fungi.
Asst. dr. For Andrej Gregori, the founder and director of the Slovenian company MycoMedica d.o.o., his love for mushrooms and biology was laid in his cradle. Already in his childhood, his parents strongly influenced him – both biologists: his mother researched fish, his father studied birds. Nature was part of everyday life, the exploration of something taken for granted. Already in his early youth, he preferred to devote his time to the microscope, observing, experimenting, gathering herbs and mushrooms, and understanding the invisible processes that shape life, instead of playing. This curiosity led him through the study of agronomy and beyond – much further than the classical academic paths.
After his studies, he went to Asia, where he worked in mushroom farms, learned advanced mushroom cultivation techniques and got to know the traditional medicine of the Far East up close. There, the world of medicinal mushrooms gained an additional dimension – it became a place where traditional experiences are intertwined with observation of nature, in-depth understanding of the functioning of fungi and scientifically confirmed knowledge. He later systematically upgraded the acquired knowledge through continuous study, research work and cooperation with the international scientific community.
Today, Andrej Gregori is considered one of the leading European experts in medicinal mushrooms and a pioneer in their research, cultivation and processing.
In 1998, together with his mother, he founded the Institute of Natural Sciences and began growing medicinal mushrooms on natural grounds. From this vision grew the company MycoMedica d.o.o., which today operates from Podkoren near Kranjska Gora.
MycoMedica d.o.o. stands out as a symbol of excellence in the field of nutritional supplements made from medicinal mushrooms and fungi, united under the GOBA® brand. At the heart of MycoMedica d.o.o. it is knowledge from the beginning. Not quick promises and not shortcuts, but long-term research, understanding the composition of fungi and their complex bioactive compounds. It is based on scientific findings, organic production and high quality.
We have the largest Slovenian collection of medicinal mushroom cultures, which is the foundation of our research and production work. All our mushrooms are 100% of European origin, organic quality and grown under controlled conditions in our own premises. We use innovative and environmentally friendly approaches in the production process, and GOBA® products are tested in top laboratories at home and abroad and meet the strictest quality standards, which is additionally confirmed by the obtained eco certificate SI-EKO-001.
The effectiveness of GOBA® nutritional supplements is based on the scientific work of the research group led by Assoc. dr. Andrej Gregori. Their research is published in numerous professional and scientific publications and confirms the potential of medicinal mushrooms in various fields of modern science.
Due to the verified quality and proven effectiveness of the raw materials of MycoMedica d.o.o. they are used by many international pharmaceutical and other companies in their own brands, and part of the raw materials are processed into our own brand of nutritional supplements GOBA®. We can proudly state that our products have been chosen by more than 2 million users to date, whose experience confirms that nature – with the right knowledge and respect – has extraordinary power.
Today, MycoMedica d.o.o., in addition to human nutritional supplements, also develops products for companion animals, thereby expanding its vision into new areas. The pet product line was created from a deep understanding of nature, scientific insights, and a commitment to the well-being of our four-legged companions.
Each GOBA® product is the result of many years of experience and scientific knowledge on the use of medicinal mushrooms, with an emphasis on the quality of raw materials, safe use and a responsible, holistic approach to solving problems.
The team of MycoMedica d.o.o. brings together researchers, production experts, and colleagues in marketing and sales. We are all connected by the same bus:
to connect nature, science and quality in products based on understanding – not promises.

Timeline of MycoMedica d.o.o.
Regular inspections and certifications ensure a high level of quality across our work. In addition to meeting all regulatory requirements, we carry out further voluntary quality controls in our own laboratory, as well as in accredited independent laboratories in Slovenia and abroad, and in cooperation with domestic and international research institutions.
Clinical study on GOBA® Hericium erinaceus
We have published the first clinical study on GOBA® Hericium erinaceus heteropolysaccharides
Removing heavy metals with our products
We show that our product GOBA Galimmun effectively binds heavy metals and potentially helps to detoxify the body. The work is being carried out under the supervision of Associate Professor Gregor Marolt, Ph.
HighFive project
The project with the acronym OEDFS represents a project of interdisciplinary integration and collaboration to use, consolidate and introduce digital twin technology in the sector of processing of medicinal fungi for food supplements, by introducing a new system of sensors and automation and digitisation of extraction and drying processes in the company MycoMedica d.o.o..
CoPro project
Development of the first standardized dietary supplement from Cordyceps, with more than 10 mg/g cordycepin. The first of its kind with a standardized bioactive compound content.
eRECY's project
As part of the project, we will develop a nutritional supplement from the medicinal fungus Hericium erinaceus in an innovative formulation, which will be the first in the world to have a standardized and declared content of the main neuroprotective agent, erinacin A.
ERA project
The goal of the project was to develop a nutritional supplement from medical mushrooms of the Hericium species, which will be the first on the world market to have a standardized and declared content of the key pharmacologically active ingredient in the mushroom – erinicin A.
PANDA 2023, Shanghai
As representatives of Slovenia, we presented our new product GOBA Hericium erinaceus K and our research achievements at the Pan-Asian and Pacific Conference of the Pan-African Network of Natural Products and Drug Discovery Associations (PANDA) and the International Seminar of the UNESCO Regional Network of Natural Products Chemistry for Safety and Well-being.
Innovative drying system for the treatment and processing of mushrooms and their extracts
By carrying out the project, we want to modernize and improve the material, energy and time efficiency of our production in an ecological, environmentally friendly way.
Effect of Hericium erinaceus supplement enriched with erinacin A on cognitive abilities
The aim of our study was to examine the effects of Hericium erinaceus (HE) supplementation on cognitive function and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neuropeptide Y (NPY).
Tracking the dynamics of nanoplastic removal
Raziskava predstavlja trajnosten pristop k odstranjevanju nanoplastike s pomočjo biomase glive Trametes versicolor, ki se je izkazala za učinkovito pod dinamičnimi pogoji ter z izrazito vezavno afiniteto do nanoplastičnih delcev.
Development of mycelial-PLA composites to improve mechanical properties and radiation shielding performance
Glivne vrste Trametes gibbosa in Ganoderma lucidum so bile vgrajene v PLA. Rezultati kažejo, da vključevanje glivne biomase v termoplastične materiale, kot je PLA, ne le izboljša mehanske lastnosti v primerjavi s klasičnimi micelijskimi materiali, temveč lahko prispeva tudi dodatne funkcionalne lastnosti, povezane z odpornostjo na UV-sevanje.
Electrochemical monitoring of interactions between polystyrene nanoplastics and fungal mass for advanced sensor applications
The research offers a sustainable approach for field monitoring and reduction of nanoplastic pollution in aquatic environments.
Fungal extracts affect the lifespan and immune responses of the Carniola bee (Apis mellifera carnica, Pollmann 1879)
