Where do you grow your mushrooms?
We grow our mushrooms, indoors, in Murrieta, CA.
How are these mushrooms grown?
Our mushrooms are grown indoors in a dedicated 12’x7’ grow room and a 4'x8' grow tent, similar to that of a hydroponics tent.
In contrast of the mushrooms you find at your typical grocery store, these mushrooms are not grown in compost or manure. They only need a few ingredients: hardwood sawdust, soy bean shells or bran and water. In addition, we do not use any pesticides or chemicals in our growing processes.
Why Support Your Local Farms?
Locally farmed produce are fresher and have touched fewer hands.
Not only will you be supporting a growing small business, but you are helping the environment by decreasing your carbon footprint.
Our growing practices are considered organicly even though we are not Certified Organic. If they are certified, the prices could be astronomical.
The mushrooms are grown indoors, free from any pesticides and pests. They only need the right lighting, temperature and water.
You are supporting a growing small business and family. In the future, we aim to expand to farmers' markets and more restaurants.
It’s a great way to connect with your community, learn about sustainable farming practices, and enjoy produce that hasn’t traveled long distances.
Do you grow these types of mushrooms?
We do not grow the following mushrooms:
Magic or psilocybin mushrooms: As for magic or psilocybin mushrooms, we do not grow them. We only grow tree, gourmet mushrooms for culinary purposes.
Wild mushrooms: A lot of wild mushrooms are extremely difficult to grow like Chantarelle, Morel, or Truffle mushrooms to name a few. They need extremely specific conditions to grow which includes the symbiotic relationships they have with nature.
Do you have mushroom growing supplies?
We are working on having mushroom supplies available.
What kind of mushrooms are these?
These mushrooms are tree mushrooms. In the wild, they grow on trees. At our farm, we mimic the tree and set up strict growing conditions like sterility, humidity and temperature to reach their optimal growth.
How do I cook these?
We cook them relatively the same. However, between Oyster, Lion's Mane and Chestnut mushrooms, they are prepared differently before cooking.
For example, with the Oyster mushrooms that have their "petals." we shred them into strips with our fingers. There is an exception with the King Oyster and Black Pearl King Oyster mushrooms.
With the King Oyster mushrooms, we slice the caps and stems. On the other hand, we pick the Black Pearl King Oyster mushrooms individually.
For Lion's Mane mushrooms, we dice or slice them depending on how crispy or tender you would like them. They have a spongy consistency before cooking them. When you cook them diced or sliced, they may have a golden and almost crispy exterior and meaty on the inside.
For Chestnut mushrooms, we pick them into individual mushrooms.
Ultimately, when we cook them we do the following after their respective preparation described above:
Prepare the mushrooms either, shredded, diced, sliced or individual mushrooms, depending on the type.
Use a high heat oil (ie. avocado, safflower etc.) and add mushrooms in a saute pan.
Saute until desired texture and color. It may take between 5 to 7 minutes or longer.
Add salt, onion and garlic powder in the last couple of minutes before serving.
Add it as a topping on or incorporate it in any dish you desire.
The cooking instructions are also found directly in their respective pages for each mushroom under the Products tab. You may also find a lot of other recipes online. We just happen to enjoy eating them like this the best - simple and easy.
