Grow three native edible mushroom species at home!
This bundle consists of three species cloned from mushrooms found in the wild in the UK - Phoenix Oyster, Velvet Shank AKA Golden Enoki, and Dryad's Saddle.
Each species offers a distinct flavour and texture, plus they can be harvested at the perfect time, making this a fantastic way to explore wild mushrooms in your own kitchen.
Our easy-to-grow kits will start producing mushrooms in 1-5 weeks and can yield 1-3 harvests. You can find detailed instructions for all our kits on our website. Each of our mushroom fruiting blocks weighs 2 kg and is made from organic, sustainable, vegan, and peat-free substrates. Learn more about our materials here.
About the mushrooms:
Dryad's Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus) is the largest capped mushrooms in the UK, with caps sometimes exceeding 60cm in diameter. Not only is it visually striking, but it’s also a delicious edible prized by foragers. However, it's best eaten when young and tender, making it tricky to harvest at the right time. Our at-home grow kit makes this much easier!
Velvet shank mushrooms have a mild, earthy, and slightly fruity flavour. They are part of the genus Flammulina, known colloquially as 'enoki', 'golden needle', 'winter mushroom', 'velvet foot' & 'velvet shank' mushrooms, and grow best in cooler temperatures.
The Phoenix Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) is a species of oyster mushroom that grows wild in the UK. It is similar to the Blue Oyster but with a more delicate texture and sweet flavour, making it ideal for quick-cooking methods like sautéing or stir-frying.
