Hello sun 😎☀️ Our stunning Golden Oysters are the perfect mushrooms to be growing in this balmy weather! Native to subtropical forests, this species loves the warmer temperatures. These mushrooms are more delicate than their blue or pink oyster cousins and have a satisfying nutty crunch to them when cooked.

Aren’t these Pioppino mushrooms adorable? 😍
Swipe to see some of the chonkiest ones we grew! Pssst - we have some ready-to-grow kits in our online shop if you want in 😉🍄‍🟫

Pioppino mushrooms (Cyclocybe aegerata) are a gourmet’s delight and among the oldest cultivated mushrooms in Europe. Descriptions of cultivation methods in Ancient Rome are included in Pliny the Elder’s writings dating back to the 1st century AD!

Also known as black poplar mushrooms, they get their name from the black poplar trees that they have a tendency to grow on or around poplar trees (Pioppo means poplar in Italian).

They have a strong, nutty flavour and keep their shape and firmness after cooking, making them particularly popular in Southern Europe and Chinese cuisine. Have you tried Pioppino mushrooms? Let us know how you’d describe them in the comments ☺️

🍄‍🟫Jo’s mushroom story 📖

I’ve been fascinated by fungi since I was very young. I remember being excited by the sight of dozens of tiny mushrooms dotted around the school fields after it had rained and thinking of that fairies must have come to visit.

In 2019, I dipped my toes into the world of mushroom foraging. One day after work, I spotted what looked curiously like an extensive patch of dinosaur eggs poking out of the dry grass on a hillside. I went over to investigate, and soon found myself amongst my first patch of shaggy ink caps. Once I’d positively ID’d them beyond doubt, I went back to harvest a few for dinner and was very excited to try my first foraged mushroom.

It wasn’t until 2020 that I found myself exploring this passing interest more deeply. Filling my weeks during lockdown by taking long walks with my dog in the fields and woodland near to by parent’s home, I started to notice many types of mushrooms that I’d never seen before (in fact, it was an abundance of mushrooms that I’ve not seen since, despite my best efforts to hunt them down!) I found my first penny bun, stumbled across huge rings of clouded agarics, an entire forest floor carpeted with amethyst deceivers, and even found many of the most iconic of mushrooms, the fly agaric 🍄 I'm still hooked on the excitement of finding mushrooms in their natural environment and delving into the cultural significance of these amazing organisms.

I’ve heard people describe their flavour as nutty (like cashews or almonds), citrus, sweet or maybe a bit like cinnamon? Opinions vary.

🌼🍄Spring is in the air and that means it’s time to start cultivating the beautiful yellow oyster mushroom Pleurotus citrinopileatus!

🌳This stunning beauty is native to subtropical forests of China and southern Japan, growing on hardwoods like oak, elm, beech and poplar.

🍜 You’ll rarely find it in markets because it and has extremely fragile fruits that don’t store well, but it’s fantastic when picked fresh and has a slightly spicy, nutty flavour.

A shame that these pink oysters mushrooms wouldn’t wait until our next course date. Definitely time to harvest before they dump spots and loose their colour! Two days apart from the first flush on this tub and one last cluster a few day behind these. Vegan bacon 🥓 BLT’s anyone!? 🥳🦊🍄💚
