Music sounds better with mycelium.

If you were testing the acoustic qualities of mycelium like this, what song would you play?

🍄‍🟫 Our mushrooms grow on substrate made from natural byproducts which become fully taken over by white web-like mycelium. This substrate provides the food source for the mycelium and eventually produces the mushrooms we eat, but it also leaves behind this leftover material, a mass of sawdust and bean hull bits that has become so interwoven by mycelium that it’s essentially transformed into a new material of its own. The substrate then isn’t actually waste, it has a new value and can actually be used as a biomaterial.

🔉 Here, it is moulded into the shape of a speaker panel. This is pretty rad and a promising proof of concept by who’s researching the acoustic potential of the myceliated material.

Rock on 🤘

Two shades of pink.

The dark Pink Oysters are have the biggest boldest flavour. If you want to be smacked in the face with mushroom, go for these, but you need to use them quick because they have the lowest shelf life of all.

The light pink are our own hybrid, a Pink Oyster as above crossed with an Italian Oyster and we’ve named this unique beauty Pink Velvet. It has a slightly more mild mushroomy taste while still having plenty of umami. It also has the shelf life of a typical oyster mushroom and can be grown sustainably as it can be grown in more ambient conditions, without needing special cooling or humidifying.

These are the mushroom symbols of sunshine and flavor, yet you can’t find them in the grocery store. For these stunning mushrooms you need to know your local mushroom farmer.

Have you ever wondered about growing mushrooms?

Grow kits are a fun and easy way to experiment with the hobby of mushroom growing! In this weather, they should take about 2 weeks to grow with little maintenance. The kits are alive and wanting to fruit so all you have to do is keep the substrate moist with a few sprays of water a day to replicate the humidity that they love. No need to put it anywhere weird or in the dark. We recommend somewhere you can easily watch them grow such as the kitchen bench top. We’ll help you with any questions if you get stuck.

If you’re wondering which one to pick, Lion’s Mane and White Oyster are the easiest to grow with impressive results! 🤩

Available online or pick up direct from our farm!

C H E S T N U T S -
this fantastical mushroom has a rich, moorish, umami taste and a surprising texture, with a uniquely crunchy stem and a thin slightly slippery cap. The crunch on the stem is such a stand out texture, it’s not squishy at all. That shape and texture holds up even when cooked!

Chestnuts are quite finicky to grow and do take nearly three times as long as our oysters so they do cost more to grow, but they’re worth every bit. When these amber beauties are available, we recommend taking advantage of it. They’re perfect sautéed, stand outs in rich brothy numbers, easily elevate any kind of mushroom dish and are a delicious finishing move.

Chefs, reach out to us with any questions and give us a heads up if you want to be added to the grow plan!

REISHI - your dream hero, nature’s nightcap, the mushroom sandman… whatever you want to call it, this is the powerful functional mushroom that you need in your nightly routine!

🤯 That’s because reishi mushroom is renowned for its ability to promote deep relaxation and improve sleep quality thanks to its bioactive compounds that reduce stress and anxiety, naturally! Regular use can lead to a more restful, deep sleep allowing you to wake up more refreshed and alert.

😴 We’re far from your typical early-to-rise farmers, and getting up at dawn for the market is not our jam, but Reishi truly has really improved the quality of our sleep and how we feel when we wake up. Less time hitting snooze in the morning is definitely a win in our books!

💪 We know Lion’s Mane gets all the attention these days but we wholeheartedly believe that Reishi plays just as important of a role in making us feel ready to be our best at the start of each day. We want you to try it!

📍Our Reishi dual-extract is available on our website (link in bio) and be sure to follow our functional mushroom brand . More bioactive mushroom products will be launching soon and of course they’re all 100% Australian grown with no filler, no flavourings and no dodgy imported ingredients!

$39/ bottle = 30 daily serves (a month’s worth!)
Suggested daily serving = 1ml
Add to tea, water or your favourite relaxing beverage

Share with someone who needs a good sleep!

Reaching for mushroom.

To us, it looks like an ode to the oyster, perched upon a pedestal of the hands that worked to create it.

Our ‘Wild Blue’ oyster grows only in cold temperatures so we’re bringing it back for this winter/spring season! This oyster is one of our favourites to look at with its delicate baby blue caps that overhang like scalloped curtains above the thin crunchy white stems. The flavour is mild and earthy much like a white oyster.

Find these in our wholesale mix boxes and at the soon!

Support your local farmer! Source fresh from a quality grower knowing it tastes better plus you’re supporting Aussie small business. It’s a win-win.

Supporting producers is what strives to do and we think it’s awesome. The food is so delicious with warm service and a very welcoming space. So quick shout out to Gum Bistro over in West End. We think it’s important to support the supporters 💛
