Plummer spent four years as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, leading the team to the AFC Championship Game in 2005. However, Plummer is not defined by his NFL career. Instead, he has found a new passion on a farm in Fort Lupton. Plummer, along with his friends Del Jolly and Rashad Evans, co-founded Umbo. They grow functional mushrooms and sell some to popular Colorado restaurants, while putting others into products like granola bars and supplements.
How Former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer found healing through functional mushrooms Umbo grows a variety of functional mushrooms, ranging from Lion's Mane to Cordyceps. Both Plummer and Jolly said there are several studies showing a variety of health benefits related to the fungi. “It's just a food group that we're missing in my humble opinion," Jolly said. “We're working with various functional mushrooms to reintroduce the kingdom of fungi into people's diets.”“We believe in the power of all mushrooms, but they are 100% illegal at this time," said Jolly about psychedelic mushrooms. “Umbo believes in those potentials. But currently, we also believe that functional mushrooms have as much, if not more, to help humanity.
“One of the stats that I find most fascinating is the average age of the 7,000 plus people who went through our study is 39. That just tells me that this isn't, you know, a bunch of kids just using mushrooms to have fun. It's responsible adults who are, again, trying to take their health back into their own hands," said Jolly.
