No.

We offer collection from our Grow Room in Penryn (directions here). Please contact us for times, to make sure we'll be there.

‍

We also offer free delivery in the Falmouth and Penryn area for orders over £10.

‍

In the future, we hope to have some local pickup locations, as well as a market or two. Sign up to our community or newsletter to hear about this.

Our delivery days are currently Tuesday mornings and Friday mornings.

‍

Collection is Mon, Wed or Thu morning, but we do have more flexibility around this, so if you need to collect at a different time, please contact us.

At the moment we only accept either in-person card payments or bank transfers. We will soon be offering pre-payment via the website, but we're not quite there yet.

‍

We don't accept cash I'm afraid, unless you come with the exact amount.

All of our mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh, so our advice would be to not store them, but eat them!

‍

However, if you are going to store them, in our opinion, the best way to keep them is:

• In the fridge in a paper bag, not wrapped too tight. This is why we package our mushrooms this way.
• If you have lost the paper bag they were delivered in, store them in a bowl covered with a piece of kitchen roll.
• Keep them away from the edge of the fridge (so they don't get wet), and the back of the fridge (so they don't get frozen).
• Keep them away from strong smelling foods, as they'll absorb the flavour, and nobody wants banana flavoured mushrooms.
• Whatever you do, don't wrap them in plastic or put them in a tupperware box, as they'll turn into a sweaty mess.

If you're allergic to mushrooms, firstly bad luck, and secondly, you obviously shouldn't be consuming our produce.

‍

For other allergens, you should be ok. However, please be aware that we grow some of our mushrooms on substrate that contains wheat straw & soy bean husks, so there is a small chance that traces of wheat, gluten & soy might be found on the mushrooms.

Yes. We're vegan, the mushrooms are vegan, even our dog is vegan.

‍

Some growers use substrate that contains animal products, such as sheep's wool. However, not us, we use no animal products anywhere in our business.

No. While in the growing of our mushrooms we adhere to organic principles (we don't use any chemicals, pesticides or nasties), because the variety of mushrooms we grow require such a wide variety of substrates, we cannot source everyting from certified organic suppliers.

As a business we're keen to have as small an ecological footprint as possible. Some mushrooms love warm temperatures, others love it cool, and in order to avoid using unnecessary energy to cool or heat our growing space, we grow the cooler loving species at the cooler time of year, and the summer loving fungi when the air temperature is warmer.

When it comes to taste, texture and the amazing health benefits they bring, absolutely. However, none of our mushrooms are psychoactive. Sorry about that.

Not yet, but we will do soon.

Two excellent places to start are the movies 'Fantastic Fungi' (available on YouTube) and 'Fungi: Web of Life' (available in the UK on BBC iPlayer).

If you're interested in learning more about mycology, we'd recommend "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms" by Paul Stamets,, the excellent"Radical Mycology" by Peter McCoy and "Entangled Life" by Merlin Sheldrake (cheaters hint: the audiobook is a tad easier to ingest than the book!).
