Looking for mushrooms

"Aaah" we often hear "why should I buy my wild mushrooms from you when they're ... well, wild?".

A good question - but one that's easy to answer.

Although it would make a lovely story, we don't spend our time foraging for mushrooms. Indeed we have a network of growers all over the world who send us their dried mushrooms - we then package them and sell them to discerning mushroom lovers all over the country.

In addition to wild mushrooms we also process fresh mushrooms for sale to the UK food industry - and if you've ever eaten food products containing mushrooms then the chances are that they're ours!

So, you'd expect us to say that we know our mushrooms - but that would be an understatement! We're passionate about mushrooms and barely a day goes by without yours truly enjoying one of nature's finest products.

I have also enjoyed the odd forage too because we're in a part of the country that's bursting with mushrooms - but that's if you know where to look. Of course not everything is as it seems when looking for mushrooms growing wild - so you really need to know your ... ahem .. onions when looking for good fungi.

Here's a website I've found which is a treasure trove of mushroom knowledge - why not check it out before you go hunting http://www.mushrooms.org.uk/.
