About
Founded by Michael Crowe in Phoenix, Arizona. Twenty years of commercial mushroom production, structured into the platform you are using now.
Cultivation
Southwest Mushroom Collective LLC
The working farm. We grow commercial volumes of culinary and functional mushrooms in Phoenix, Arizona, and ship to chefs, retailers, and direct customers across the Southwest.
Every observation that flows back into the platform comes from real production runs in this facility.
Genetics
Crowe Mycology LLC
The genetics arm. Cultures, liquid culture, grain spawn, and production-grade strain development. Built to supply the cultivation side and qualified outside growers under contract.
Every strain you read about in a Crowe Logic SOP traces back to a Crowe Mycology lineage record.
Technology
Crowe Logic, Inc.
The technology company. Owns the platform IP, the data science models, the chat assistant, Crowe Vision, the SOP engine, and the records architecture you use to operate your own grows.
Licenses the platform to Southwest Mushrooms and to qualified commercial operations.
Cultivation, genetics, and software are different businesses with different operating rhythms, different margins, and different liabilities. Each one earns its own legal entity and its own focus.
The result is a vertical: the platform is informed by the genetics it tracks, the genetics are produced for the cultivation it supplies, and the cultivation is structured by the platform that records it. Each part makes the others more honest.
When you ask the platform a question about substrate ratios, it pulls from twenty years of Southwest Mushrooms production data. When you ask about strain selection, it pulls from Crowe Mycology lineage records. When you upload a photo for diagnosis, the model has been trained against contamination patterns observed in our own facility, batch after batch.
This is not a chatbot trained on the public internet. It is a working farm, structured for the next generation of growers.
Michael Crowe founded Southwest Mushrooms, Crowe Mycology, and Crowe Logic. He runs commercial production, develops the genetics line, writes the SOPs, and architects the platform.
He is also the author of The Mushroom Grower (Volumes 1 and 2) and the Lion's Mane Complete Cultivation SOP, all available in the store.
