Amplifying Plant Power with Super
Mushroom Squared is on a mission to revolutionize plant-based eating.
Our square-shaped frozen vegan patties are made from nutrient-dense maitake mushrooms and blended with wholesome plant-based ingredients. Each patty provides 15 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, only 130 calories, and a rich umami flavor that supports immunity and tastes genuinely satisfying.
They come in three variants: Full Flavor, 2000 mg Lion’s Mane, and Low Fat, all while keeping things sustainable.
What it is: Mostly Maitake mushroom + pea protein patty (13–14 g protein). A healthy, premium patty or add-on to make any meal more diverse, tasty, and GLP-1-diet friendly. Think: “throw it on a salad,
rice bowl, or breakfast hash.”
What it’s NOT: A beef replacement.
The Insights Igniting Mushroom Squared
With a PhD in Food and Bioprocessing and over 25 years of experience in the food and pharma industry, Dr Shekhar Patel spent his career in large corporations, bridging the gap between innovative ideas and real-world impact.
However, here's the truth that he learned the hard way: Big companies often sacrifice bold, nutrient-rich products for the sake of mass-scale affordability.
Which product goes to market is not decided by scientists; it is agreed upon in the CFO's office. What starts as a game-changer in a lab ends up diluted on shelves, leaving consumers (and our planet) shortchanged.
From Vision to Mushroom Revolution
Four years ago, amid the COVID-19 health crisis, Dr. Patel rediscovered mushrooms as nature's unsung heroes. Along with an investor, he acquired Mushrooms and More, a wholesale company that had distributed gourmet mushrooms to top-tier restaurants in New York City since 1982. The super mushrooms sold by Mushrooms and More weren't just a versatile delicacy; they are a nutrient-dense powerhouse.
"Super Mushrooms bridge the gaps fake meat can't, delivering taste, real healing nutrition, and planet-friendly goodness in every bite." – Dr. Shekhar Patel
Maitake: The miracle mushroom locked in elite restaurants at premium prices - elusive to everyday eaters. We unlocked its power for all, birthing our patties.
- Maitake addresses chronic health challenges through powerful antioxidants, immune-boosting beta-glucans, and other compounds that positively influence various metabolic functions of the human body.
- Mushrooms can tackle global food security with low-water, low-land farming and solve multi-layered social problems by providing livelihood to small farmers, all with a tiny environmental footprint.
That "aha" moment while acquiring Mushrooms and More wasn't just a business decision; it was a call to action to develop a value-added product from the super mushrooms. Mushrooms aren't a trend; they're the sustainable staple our world needs now.
Mushroom Squared: Innovation You Can Taste
Dr Patel's passion project has now turned into a startup, crafting patties that pack bold, umami-rich flavor with plant-based protein. No fillers, no chemicals like Methyl Cellulose, no compromises - just pure mushroom magic, squared for versatility in your kitchen.
Whether you're fueling a busy day or hosting friends, our patties prove that delicious change starts small: one square bite that nourishes your body, supports sustainable practices, and eases the strain on our planetary resources.
