Are you out and about in Erlangen and looking for fresh gourmet mushrooms or everything for your own mushroom cultivation? At Meisterpilze, you'll find both — freshly harvested edible mushrooms from our own production and practical grow kits for home. Here, you can find out where to find us, when the market stall is open, and what we offer.
Where you can find Meisterpilze in Erlangen
You can get fresh mushrooms and cultivation supplies from us in two ways:
- Erlangen Weekly Market: Fresh gourmet mushrooms directly from the producer — Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Depending on the season, you can get shiitake, oyster mushrooms, king trumpet mushrooms, and lion's mane.
- Online Shop for Cultivation Supplies: You can conveniently order substrates, grain spawn, accessories, and grow kits right here in the shop and on eBay.
Fresh mushrooms are available on Saturdays at the Erlangen weekly market (9 a.m.–1 p.m.) or via Marktschwärmer — not in the online shop. In the shop, you will find everything for your own mushroom cultivation.

⚠️ Safety instruction – Mushroom spores (respiratory tract)
Mature mushrooms release spores. Inhaling large quantities of spores can irritate the respiratory tract and lungs and, with repeated exposure, can trigger allergic reactions up to extrinsic allergic alveolitis ("Mushroom Worker's Lung").
- Allow to fruit in well-ventilated rooms; do not place in bedrooms or living areas.
- Harvest mushrooms shortly before they release their spores to reduce the spore load.
- Sensitive, allergic, or pre-existing condition individuals, as well as persons with constant exposure: wear respiratory protection (FFP2/FFP3).
- Never consume contaminated or moldy cultures; dispose of the bag closed and do not stir up/inhale spores in the process.
All details on safety and usage can be found on the respective product page in the shop.
