OUR BRAND
AND PRODUCT ETHOS

OTHERNATURE IS AN AMPLIFIER OF THE NATURAL WORLD HARNESSING THE POWER OF FUNGI TO PROMOTE PERSONAL AND PLANETARY HEALTH.

At OtherNature™, our hero ingredient is fungi – the inconspicuous yet powerful mushroom. Fig. 1 – Big Sheath Mushroom (Volvopluteus gloiocephalus)

OUR HERO INGREDIENT IS FUNGI – THE INCONSPICUOUS YET POWERFUL MUSHROOM.

Fungi feed us and they also heal us. Genetically, they are closer to humans than plants and are responsible for everything from bread to beer to antibiotics. Certain varieties contain medicinal or antioxidant properties that have been championed by Eastern practices for more than 5,000 years. 

Fungi also have a vital role to play in addressing our environmental crisis, thanks to their ability to sequester carbon and encourage biodiversity. They are all-natural, all around us, and one of nature’s most important – yet least known – contributors in supporting balance and health in humans and the environment.

Inspired by the wonders of fungi, OtherNature™ is an amplifier of the natural world with a mission to promote the regeneration of personal and planetary health. The result is a New Zealand purpose-driven brand built on the foundation of three interconnected values: Utility, Honesty, and Curiosity.

 

A state of being useful, profitable, or beneficial – strive to only create products that are functional, considered, and necessary.

Honourable in principles, intentions, and actions – promise to be utterly transparent, accountable, and direct.

The desire to know with interest leading to inquiry – remain forever inquisitive, a challenger, and an explorer.
