We, the makers of the amadou material and the amadou products, live in Romania, Transylvania region, in a town named Corund (Korond).
Just a few families remained who still work with this old craftsmanship in a daily basis.
Processing the Fomes Fomentarius mushroom is a hard work, using machines is not possible.
This is why we proudly cooperate with these families, buying raw material from them, and even some products, made with our design. This is a win-win situation. By buying from us, you help these families, and you also help the preservation of this craftsmanship.
These persons are the following:
- Fabian Imre
- Fabian Zoltan
- Molnos Istvan
- Tofalvi Erzsebet
- Mathe Magdolna
- Jozsa Erzsebet
I, Mako Csaba learned a lot from these people. I also learned a lot from Mathe Janos, my grandfather in law, from who I inherited the tools and forms.
Video coming soon with mt mother and law and grandfather in law working with amadou.
Thank you for reading this page, feel free to contact us if you would like to buy our product.
