Need a SCOBY?

*Please note that this is a copy of a previous post: Where to Obtain Kombucha Cultures.*

I've been receiving numerous e-mails about where to buy kombucha mushrooms, so here's a quick rundown of your options.
  • A friend - If you are brewing using the traditional method and conditions are right, you get a new kombucha culture each batch! This means an overwhelming number of mushrooms if you brew regularly. So hit up your friends and tell them to spread the kombucha love! :)
  • Kombucha Fuel on Facebook - Kombucha Fuel is on Facebook in part to facilitate SCOBY exchanges. If you are interested in obtaining a mushroom (or if you extra mushrooms that you would like to give away), go to Kombucha Fuel on Facebook and then to the note "Kombucha SCOBY Exchange." Write your request or offer and list your location, and hopefully someone will get back to you! 
  • My availability: Due to overwhelming demand, I will now only offer to give kombucha mushrooms at my workshops. If you would like to meet with me to receive a mushroom, I will charge a fee of $20. I'm sorry to do this, but I simply cannot keep up with the demand at this time. But never fear! There are still others who are offering SCOBYs for free in the Boston area in the Facebook note "Kombucha SCOBY Exchange"! And if you live in the Boston/Cambridge area and have extra SCOBYs to share, don't be shy to post a comment there as well. The more the merrier!   
    If you have any more ideas of where to obtain kombucha mushrooms, please share!
