Pink Oyster

The Pink Oyster Mushrooms exhibit a stunning vibrancy, making them a captivating variety within the oyster family. When cultivated, they form clusters that resemble a delightful bouquet. These mushrooms boast a unique flavour profile, often described as meaty, accompanied by a subtle fish-like aroma prior to cooking. When fried, they can serve as a popular substitute for bacon. It is essential to carefully time the harvest of Pink Oysters, as their shelf life is relatively short, lasting only 48-72 hours. Embracing their beauty and savouring their flavours promptly is crucial to fully appreciate this remarkable variety.

Flavour and Texture: fishy, meaty, slightly chewy, umami.

Blue Oyster

The Blue Oyster mushroom variety stands as the most prolific strain, delivering abundant yields of remarkable mushroom clusters. These clusters grow impressively large, showcasing impeccable mushrooms. In their youthful stage, the mushrooms exhibit a vibrant blue hue, which gradually transitions into a graceful grey-brown shade as they mature, depending on the lighting conditions.

Flavour and Texture: complex, earthy, hearty, meaty.

Lion's Mane

Our Lion’s Mane variety takes the crown as our top-selling product, adored by fans far and wide. Renowned for its remarkable medicinal properties, it is often hailed as a “natural nootropic” for its cognitive-enhancing effects. This strain is exceptionally reliable, consistently delivering impressive yields. However, it’s important to exercise caution and avoid letting the “hairs” grow excessively long, despite their visually appealing appearance. While it may look super cool, prolonged growth negatively impacts both the flavour and shelf life of the mushrooms. To fully savour the Lion’s Mane experience, we highly recommend trying our Lion’s Mane ‘Crab Cakes’ preparation method, which promises to elevate your culinary delight.

Flavour and Texture: clean, earthy, meaty, mild.

Antler Reishi

Reishi, often referred to as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality’ in Chinese culture, is a highly revered medicinal mushroom renowned for its potential to enhance longevity and overall well-being. Extensively researched for its immune-boosting properties, Reishi extracts have been found to stimulate T-cell function, enhance Natural Killer cell activity, and facilitate the maturation of Dendritic cells (Gao, 2004). Additionally, Reishi extract offers various pharmacological benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, antiviral properties, blood pressure reduction, cholesterol level modulation, promotion of anti-tumor activity, and muscle relaxation as a central depressant (Hobbs, 1995; Gao et al., 2014).
