Ms. Allen has decades of experience working with distributors to grow a multitude of brands in the edible mushrooms and other wellness spaces, including helping to grow sales for the Four Sigmatic brand for over 4 years. According to CNBC, "Four Sigmatic's mushroom coffee mix with Lion's Mane and Chaga is the No. 1 best seller in the instant coffee category on Amazon, beating out Nescafe and Starbucks."

Amber Allen also worked with other wellness companies My Matcha Life, Sun Warrior, Mikei Red Reishi and Thursday Plantation.

"Amber's qualifications in building marketing plans for medicinal mushrooms and experience growing sales for some of the world's leading mushroom brands make her an ideal candidate to help us launch our mushroom consumer packaged foods division," says Penny White, CEO of Yield Growth.

Amber will oversee Flourish's international launch of its mushroom coffee line and mushroom soups in 2020.

According to Fast Company, the mushroom market is expected to hit $50 billion in the coming years.

According to Fortune Business Insights, results of clinical and preclinical studies on edible mushroom consumption suggest that their consumption may support healthy immunity, weight management, and enhancement of overall health.
