Gourmet & medicinal mushrooms grown by the sea in West Cornwall

Currently fruiting

Delicious fungi available now

Pink Oyster

Pleurotus djamor

As we start warming up here in Falifornia, these flamboyant sub-tropical fungi are coming out to play. They’re a treat to grow with their beautiful shape and vibrant colour - even the mycelium turns pink as it matures and gets ready to fruit. They are delicious, with a classic oyster mushroom flavour, with some people saying that they have a slight seafoody or even salmon-like taste. We’re not so sure about that though - we like them best crispy like bacon. It’s worth noting that as they cook, they’ll lose that vibrant pink in favour of a rich creamy brown. You won’t mind that once you’re tucking in though.

Lion's Mane

Hericium erinaceus

The highly prized Lion's Mane aka Bearded Tooth, Satyr's Beard, Yamabushitake (Japanese for "Mountain Priest Mushroom", which is dead cool!) and many more. It has a beautifully mild, sweet flavour akin to lobster or crab and, in our opinion, makes the best vegan steak alternative you can find. Its purported benefits to cognition, memory, and other ailments like bowel disease are legendary too. What’s not to love about this denizen of the ancient woodland?

Summer Oyster

Pleurotus pulmonarius

The Summer Oyster (aka Italian Oyster, Phoenix Oyster or Lung Oyster) are the warm weather cousins to the more commonly found grey oyster mushroom. They’re a classic culinary mushroom with a ‘meaty’ taste, gorgeous texture AND they’re rich in antioxidants so will do you some serious good too. They keep very well in the fridge compared to other strains (up to 10 days if stored correctly) which makes them a great kitchen go-too ingredient. A proper versatile summer lovin’ fungi.

Yellow Oyster

Pleurotus citrinopileatus

In our humble opinion, one of the prettiest mushrooms around. These little rays of sunshine have a sweet, nutty taste and a great array of texture when cooked to your preference. They are delicate little chaps though and don’t travel well, which is why you won’t find them in the supermarket. Ours are delivered fresh as a daisy from just down the road, so no worries there. Amaze your friends, delight your kids, and add some colour to your plate with these mellow yellows.

Black Pearl Oyster

Pleurotus ostreatus var. Black Pearl

Black Pearl Oyster Mushrooms are characterised by their rich brown, sometimes black, caps and thick pearly white stems. They are a hybrid of Pearl Oyster & King Oyster mushrooms and these beauties are the best of both worlds. With a firm texture, soft nutty taste and a tender, tasty stem, they’re a delicious culinary treat. They start out life as miniature King Oysters before maturing into a classic Pearl Oyster fruit body, and then, if nature takes its course, ending up as a delicious ragu.

Coral Tooth

Hericium coralloides

The rarely seen Coral Tooth fungus, cousin to the A-List Lion’s Mane, is a sight to behold. Characterised by its stunning fruiting bodies that resemble delicate, branching coral formations, it would seem more at home underwater than in dense beech woodlands. To see this underwater analogy through, it also has a tender texture and mild seafood-like sweetness when cooked. You can treat this bizarre woodland coral just like Lion’s Mane - delicious and nutritious for body and soul as a dried supplement, pressed as a steak or even fried until crispy in a light tempura batter with some fresh garlic aioli for dipping.

About us

We’re a family run business with a simple mission - grow gourmet & medicinal mushrooms as sustainably as we can, right here by the sea in West Cornwall. Based in Penryn, we supply delicious, nutritious and hard-to-find mushrooms to the public, chefs, restaurants & fungi fanatics all over our little corner of Kernow.

We focus on the types of gourmet fungi which are hard for supermarkets to source at freshness and scale. Often the more exotic species are shipped from abroad at huge cost to the environment and huge cost to their quality. Our aim is to cultivate these tasty beauties right on your doorstep, giving you access to the freshest, most interesting produce we can without the crushing environmental impact. Mushroom farming (even at at a small scale) has room for improvement. Our ultimate goal is to be a fully sustainable, circular business with as close to zero environmental impact as we can. This means an ongoing journey to engineer out single use plastic, to grow seasonally to avoid huge energy input, to reuse waste materials like coffee grounds & paper and to reintroduce our waste back into the soil as compost.

Most importantly we want everyone to discover the magical and tasty world of fungi.
