In case you haven't seen, heard or felt it, the first hints of fall are here!

That means it's the best time of year to get your produce from your local farmers markets, as in Florida, production is during the cooler months! Outdoor shroom season falls the same but slightly shorter pattern!

The first sungrown shrooms of the season have hit the farmers market, containing magnitudes more Vitamin D and super huge caps compared to their still amazing indoor grown counterparts.

Perfect to replace pulled pork, shredded chicken or your standard button shrooms in any recipe! Just cook initially without oil, then when it looks about done add in your oil and seasoning!

Find us at any of these amazing markets!
Give them a follow to stay updated on the other purveyors you can find!

🥶🥶Brrrrr! It's gonna be a frosty weekend! Soup season awaits 🙌

Bundle up and aquire the ultimate umami to warm your soul and nourish your body with sun grown mushrooms, rich in Vitamin D, beta-glucan, and ergothianine to boost your immune system.

Eating mushrooms can train your immune system! They are referred to as immunomodulators. The chitin in mushrooms signal a threat, increasing white blood cell count, but as we know there is no threat, no pathogen to harm our bodies. We are left with a more robust immune system as a result, it's almost like taking your immune system to the gym!

My favorite trick for a soup base is to caramelize garlic, onion and mushrooms in a Dutch oven, I leave the lid on to let the juices collect for a bit, maybe about 15 minutes, I always cook by appearance and taste personally. Next I take the lid off and let the juices reduce while also adding in some whole pepper corn and coconut aminos to help add some sugars and develop a richer carmilization. Once the color is rich but not burnt, I add an acid or wine, I personally like rice vinegar. This helps create some kind of pseudo demi glace. You now have the base of the most umami rich insanely addicting soup, just add water!
You could also just add this on top of pasta and it's knockout amazing.
I call this a base because it is a base, it is a vehicle to deliver a surely satisfying meal, I like a hearty soup so I add in greens, including stalks, potatoes or rice, anything from the market or anything that suits your desires should pair well with this. The flavors of the base will strongly steer your soup, So it's also a great way to introduce a healthier ingredients to otherwise unwilling family members 🙌🙌

Stay healthy and warm ✌️❤️🍄

We are in the age of the 'Shroom Boom', are you still struggling with fungiphobia?

Paul Stamets coined the term to reflect the massive shift in perception that is occuring in the West with fungi. One reason for our Shroom Lag is due to 99% of the time our only option was month old white button mushrooms, Agaricus bisporus or portobello, which is again, Agaricus bisporus, just more mature.

Fungi are their own kingdom! Disliking white buttons and concluding that all mushrooms are not delicious is the same as only eating a carrot or tomato and concluding that all vegetables are not delicious! Mushrooms contain a variety of textures, flavors and smells just like fruits or vegetables.

Mushrooms also contain a lot of water, and when they're not cooked properly they can become very spongy, This is the reason a significant amount of the people who do not enjoy mushrooms give when asked.

My favorite remedy with this is to just cook the mushrooms on a medium high heat without any oils for a few moments until you see a color that you like. The mushrooms will sweat out enough moisture to allow thermal conductivity and still cook the entire mushroom. This reduces the water content and gives room for the oil to move in when you add it. If you go to the farmers market and you speak to me you'll know that I'm a big advocate of cooking mushrooms without any oils initially but it's actually not necessary, It just makes everything a lot easier and simple so that everyone can master it! So I do encourage you to try new ways also!

I'll definitely say, when I first started as a mushroom purveyor in 2020 It was extremely common for people to proudly state "ew mushrooms", "gross mushrooms", ect, ect. But now, I haven't heard those expressions in a good while, now it is more along the lines of either a genuine, "I'm not really a fan" or "ok I know I need these in my diet, can you help enjoy mushrooms?"

And with that, thank you for all the previous naysayers of shrooms, and a very warm thank you to all those who were happy to tell me that I helped "convert" you to the shroom side! I really enjoy hearing that, it provides me fulfilment because that's my goal!

Stay healthy🍄♥

How awesome is this?

Check out

Sauce Stache has a YouTube Channel where he teaches people new fun ways to make plant based meats. If your vegan or veg, check out his channel, I'm sure you'll find a way to make the dish you miss become plant based! The best part is, he even has a whole playlist with mushroom based recipes!

Check out this risotto using fresh Italian Browns and dried oyster mushroom mix for maximum umami! This is an art that satisfies all senses!

You can experience 'Risso' on the January menu at Soseki! Reservation information can be found on their bio, or Sosekifl.com

Soseki is a modern Omakase style restaurant in Winter Park. Omakase is Japanese for "I'll leave it up to you", this is where the chefs craft a thoughtfully put together tasting menu of sushi and other sensualizing dishes to experience. In Sosekis case, they curate their menu based on what is locally available! The chefs themselves come to the markets to select the best produce available for their menu, while also supporting local farmers directly. I see that as an ultimate testament to quality!

Blue Oysters are just loving life right now, I love the deep pigmentation!

We will have these blue oysters tomorrow morning at along with Italian browns, Snow Oysters and Elm Oysters 🙌

You can find my tent at the end of the market near the music! Look for the blue tent along the buildings 👍

A picture is worth a thousand words 🙌
Maybe with some lion's mane we can remember all those words!

When the conditions are spot on, mostly consistently low temp, some varieties of Lions Mane can turn pink!

This shroomie is the pinkest and brainiest yet! Great job shroomie, you're beautiful! 🙌🍄

We're back in full swing this weekend, All markets are back on!

During the downtime I've been honing in and finishing up some projects!

We got the outdoor setup rolling, This helps bring even more mushrooms to the market, and allows for the production of more ways to enjoy the benefits of mushrooms and maintain our health!
As an added benefit to outdoor production, mushrooms exposed to natural UV continue to saturate their levels of vitamin D! Oyster mushrooms in particular, create a lot of D2 when exposed to UV, and our close proximity to the equator increases this saturation even further 🙌 link to a study referencing this below!

We also have dehydrated mushrooms which are cleaned and individually hand trimmed, as well as all cap, no stem! No tough bits, all savory flavor and tenderness to add to soups, broths and stocks. Because these mushrooms are fresh when dehydrated, they are also great to reconstitute with simple warm water or a flavored broth!

Stay healthy ♥️🍄

I was talking about this recipe today with a customer, I love cornbread and I love mushrooms so I know this is amazing for Thanksgiving!

Instructions
Step 1
To prepare cornbread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2
Whisk cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk and oil in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.

Step 3
Bake the cornbread until the top springs back when touched lightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn out of the pan and let cool completely. Measure 8 cups of 1-inch cubes and let stand at room temperature for up to 2 days. (Reserve the remaining cornbread for another use.)

Step 4
To prepare stuffing: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 5
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, scallions, thyme, rosemary, sage and pepper. Cook until the butter is melted, about 1 minute.

Step 6
Place the cornbread in a very large mixing bowl; add the mushroom mixture and broth; gently fold until the cornbread is evenly moistened and ingredients are well distributed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Tightly cover the pan with foil.

Step 7
Bake the stuffing for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips
To make ahead: Prepare cornbread up to 2 days ahead; store uncovered at room temperature. Or wrap airtight and freeze for up to 3 months. Prepare stuffing through Step 6 and refrigerate for up to 1 day; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.

Can't make it to a particular market? No problem! We do four markets a week! This helps us spread the 🍄♥️ and with more frequent unloading during the week means fresher mushrooms! Most of the mushrooms are harvested same day, but if they decide to reach their prime a little slower or faster we can still seal them away with proper storage vessels at a perfect and consistent 39° in my walk-in cooler that I built.

I've even tested gold oysters (highly perishable compared to other mushrooms) and I have had them last over 2 weeks, but if they are in standard residential refrigeration, where the temperature is not consistent due to frequent opening and being significantly less efficient in refrigeration than the shelf life is reduced to one week.

Chestnut - an even deeper nutty flavor with slight buttery hints, crisps well

Lions Mane - Crabcakes for thanksgiving!

Black Pearl - Extra meaty and hearty mushroom, even more than Blue Oyster, carries a peppery finish to the flavor minus the spice

Any recipe that calls for regular store bought mushrooms can be replaced with Oyster mushrooms and chestnuts
