Chestnut mushrooms are perfect for growers who’ve tried oysters or lion’s mane and are ready to take the next step. While chestnut mushrooms take a little longer to grow—about five weeks—the wait is worth it for these stunning, flavourful clusters.

Bigger kits = bigger harvests

Our kits are twice the size of most others, featuring a 5-pound fruiting block that produces significantly more mushrooms. Enjoy multiple flushes and a longer-lasting growing experience. When it comes to yield, bigger truly is better.

About chestnut mushrooms

The chestnut mushroom (Pholiota adiposa) is a stunning variety prized for its dense clusters of reddish-brown caps speckled with white. Its rich, earthy flavour and slightly crisp texture make it a favourite among mushroom enthusiasts

Kit contents

  • 5-pound hardwood fruiting block.
  • Humidity tent to help your mushrooms grow and stay happy.
  • 60ml spray bottle.

Cooking

Chestnut mushrooms have a rich, earthy flavor and a firm, slightly crisp texture that holds up beautifully in cooking. They’re perfect for roasting, adding to risottos, or sautéing with garlic and herbs for a savory side dish. Their clustered stems and caps also make them an eye-catching addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Hardwood blend, oats, wheat bran and/or soybean hulls, and Pholiota adiposa mycelium.
