Oyster Mushrooms
Our range of oyster mushrooms includes white, grey, and brown oysters, as well as the elegant King Oyster and its striking cousin, the Black King. Each variety brings its own unique texture and flavour profile—from the mild, velvety finish of grey oysters to the meaty, umami-rich density of King and Black King oysters. These versatile mushrooms are perfect for sautéing, grilling, roasting, or slicing into gourmet dishes where both taste and presentation matter. Grown with care in Mikpunt, our oysters are fresh, beautiful, and packed with natural goodness.
Speciality Mushrooms
Our speciality mushroom range is where flavour, texture, and rarity come together. We grow a select variety of gourmet mushrooms that offer something truly unique for chefs and food lovers alike. Chestnut mushrooms bring a rich, nutty depth and a slightly crunchy bite, perfect for roasting or adding to risottos. Shimeji offers a delicate, slightly sweet umami flavour and holds its shape beautifully in stir-fries and soups. Nameko mushrooms are known for their glossy finish and subtle, earthy taste—ideal in broths and ramen. Poplar mushrooms (also known as Pioppino) deliver a bold, woodsy aroma and firm texture, making them a favourite in Italian dishes. And Enoki, with their long, slender stems and mild flavour, add elegance and crunch to salads, soups, and sushi.
Grown with precision and care, our speciality mushrooms are ideal for restaurants, gourmet markets, and culinary innovators looking to bring something extraordinary to the plate.
Medicinal Mushrooms
Our medicinal mushroom range is grown with a deep respect for the natural health benefits these remarkable fungi offer. We currently cultivate Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, and Reishi—three of the most respected mushrooms in the world of functional wellness.
Lion’s Mane is celebrated for its cognitive and neurological support, often used to enhance focus, memory, and mental clarity. It contains compounds that stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), making it a powerful natural ally for brain health and nervous system support.
Shiitake, while popular in gourmet cooking, is also a potent medicinal mushroom known for its immune-boosting properties and cardiovascular support. Rich in lentinan, it has long been used in traditional medicine to strengthen the body’s natural defences.
