about the mushrooms

These are not your typical mushrooms you find from the super market and no, they're not those magical mushrooms either. 

They are grown from hardwood sawdust, and they need controlled conditions like lighting, humidity and temperature. This means they are grown year round.

In the wild, these mushrooms grow on decaying tree trunks or logs. They're scientifically known as primary decomposers that are critical in nature's life cycles. 

What we ultimately see is the rebirth of life, and we hope you experience that too.

They are too pretty to eat, aren't they? Trust us - they taste even better and also are great for you.

These mushrooms carry a myriad of benefits, both eaten raw and cooked. When cooked they release compounds that are:

• Rich in nutrients, iron, fiber, B-vitamins & protein
• Good source of antioxidents, protecting against cell damage
• Pharmacological effective - anti-tumor, antiviral & more

Incorporating mushrooms into your diet is a lifestlye in itself. You will reap the benefits the more you eat them. It's like exercising, brushing your teeth, or having enough sleep; you'll see a change for the better.

So not only will you have a fun time trying new recipes, but you will also gain a new perspective and appreciation when eating locally cultivated gourmet, culinary mushrooms.
