It’s really no wonder why Blue Oysters are one of our best selling mushrooms ✨

🍄‍🟫 They’re meat-like! They taste like chicken or pork or even carne asada depending on your seasoning and cooking method.

🍄‍🟫 They’re versatile! We’ve seen these deep fried, roasted, stir fried, baked in bread, grilled, turned into steaks, topped on pizzas, dehydrated into jerky and used in soups. The possibilties are really rather impressive!

🍄‍🟫 They’re healthy! They’re a great source of dietary fiber, powerful antioxidants, vital vitamins like A, B and D, and minerals like iron and potassium. They’re also very low in calories, fat, and cholesterol.

🍄‍🟫 They’re strikingly beautiful 🤩

DON’T MISS OUT! 🍄‍🟫 We’ll have 4 different Wild Mushrooms at the Farmers Markets this weekend!

Cauliflower Mushroom- These flat noodle-like mushrooms are firmer in texture and taste sweet, nutty and meaty. Try them stir fried with a little garlic and salt.

Sweet Tooth Mushroom- Aka Hedgehog Mushroom. This one is nutty in flavor and dense in texture which makes them great for pastas and soups.

Button Chanterelles- These are smaller & younger Chanterelles, which means they are also cuter 🥹 They hold their shape well when cooked and have a sweet, fruity flavor.

Matsutake Mushroom- a prized mushroom that smells like forest because they grow with pine trees! They taste woodsy and sometimes have a little spice to it. Definitely a must try.

Happy birthday to the man of the hour, Enrique! Our own in-house genius, engineer, scientist, mycologist, professional DIY’er and beyond. He takes growing mushrooms VERY seriously but lives life unbothered by most things, which is needed when things get tough and stressful. I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s worked NONSTOP for 5+ years to build Desert Moon Mushrooms from scratch and I couldn’t be more proud of him 🥹 What a guy! 5 stars! 10/10 ! -EvaSara 🤍

We have a VERY limited supply going to the market tomorrow at the Downtown Summerlin Farmers’ Market. These are sold first come first serve!!

Swipe ➡️ to the next image to learn how to clean Wild Mushrooms!!

Extra cleaning tip: Some people like to give their mushrooms a salt-water bath. 4 cups of water with 1tbsp salt should do the trick. But don’t soak for too long (10 min max) as this can make your mushrooms mushy. We like to skip this step but to each their own 🙂

Storing your mushrooms properly is easy peasy!!

For short-term storage, simply keep them in a brown paper bag for up to a week in the fridge (some varieties like Lions Mane can stay fresh even longer than a week! But Pink Oysters only like to live 3-5 days 😭) We keep them in the compartment where the fruits and veggies live.

For long-term storage, mushrooms should be dried then stored in an air-tight container (we like glass jars) in a cool, dry place. You can use either a dehydrator or oven at 140f for 8-10 hours until they are crispy. Wild mushrooms should then be frozen for 3 days after drying, but this is NOT necessary for our cultivated one’s as they don’t have any critters in them. Once placed in their container, they can last up to 3 years!! They are incredibly shelf stable in this state.

You can also POWDER your mushrooms but our preferred process is a little more complicated so we will share that on a later post.

Hope this helps! As always, mush love!! 🍄‍🟫

Another article about our mushroom farm! 🤯🍄

https://lasvegas.citycast.fm/food-drink/desert-moon-mushrooms-las-vegas

Thanks to the wonderful for writing this cool piece and for sharing our story!

Enrique Gonzalez and Eva-Sara Luna founded Desert Moon Mushrooms in 2020 during a bout of pandemic boredom.

“We were just laying in bed,” Gonzalez told me on a recent tour of their business, the only full-fledged mushroom farm in Las Vegas.

“And I said, ‘Hey, do you wanna watch a movie or do you wanna think about a business plan?’”

“Literally that night, we’re like, ‘Let’s do a mushroom farm,’” Luna added.

“We (could’ve) watched a movie instead of starting a business.” Gonzalez laughed.

By the way, we are SO close to opening our store front and getting tours started 🤩
