| Credentials | Often no formal credentials required; knowledge-based | Typically holds degrees in mycology or related fields |

While a mushroom is a type of fungi often gathered for culinary or medicinal purposes, a mycologist is a scientist specializing in the study of fungi, including mushrooms. The main difference lies in their roles: mushrooms are the subject of interest, whereas mycologists conduct research and analysis on fungi species, their ecology, and applications.

- see your manager for details.Home Grown Industries of Georgia is the Franchisor of Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers. Mellow Mushroom opened in 1974 when three college students founded a business that reflected their eccentric philosophies. They saw pizza baking as an art form, and wanted to bring joy to others by perfecting the art of pizza. The first store was created out of an old liquor store on Spring Street near Georgia Tech. To accommodate the long lines and gaining popularity, more Mellow Mushrooms sprung up around Atlanta. By the late 80's, they opened their first franchise to an existing employee, followed by customer-owned franchises, and then to friends of employees and customers. One by one, the stores sprung up, built on a good idea and a great pizza pie. As our reputation for a great stone baked pizza grew, so did we, and it continues to this day. For 37 years, Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers has been serving up fresh stone baked pizzas to-order in an eclectic, art-filled and family-friendly environment. Each Mellow is locally-owned and operated with a unique feel focused around customer service and high quality food.
