Hi I'm Ed, founder of York Gourmet Mushrooms - established in 2023 following several years of foraging, photographing, identifying, learning about, and finally growing mushrooms at home as a hobby.
This quickly turned into an idea to produce these wonderful fungi on a commercial level, providing the local community with the freshest and best quality gourmet mushrooms - grown right here on the outskirts of York city centre.

There will be a number of other interesting species available seasonally too, so watch this space for whatever is available at that time!

We believe that good food should be good for the planet, too. That's why we are committed to sustainability in everything we do. We use eco-friendly packaging materials, recycle as much as possible, and pass our spent mushroom substrate blocks to a local composter who turns them into reusable compost. The substrate we use is a mixture of hardwood fuel pellets and soy hulls, and is 100% peat free.
We are always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact and make a positive difference in our community.
