We grow what works reliably in our production. Better a few varieties done well than many done so-so. The selection changes with the season.
Shiitake
Strong aroma with a typical umami note. When cooked, it develops an intense, almost meaty flavour. Good for Asian dishes, soups and hearty pan dishes.
Oyster mushroom
Tender and mild. The mushroom most people start with. Good for frying, grilling and braising.
King oyster
Firm, meaty stem with a nutty aroma. Can be sliced and seared like a steak and holds its shape.
Chestnut mushroom (Pholiota adiposa)
Nutty and slightly crunchy, with a thin stem and a dark cap.
Lion's mane
Looks unusual and is tender to the bite. Often used as a meat-free alternative.
We don't ship fresh mushrooms. You can get them every Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm at the Erlangen weekly market. See locations
