Ontario-grown Mushrooms

This deliciously rich, brown mushroom with its gently curved white stem is one of the five most cultivated mushrooms in the world – and with good reason. We hand-select and grade our shiitake mushrooms on our farm, picking every week, twice a day to ensure freshness, nutrient value, and flavour. We harvest and trim our shiitake when the cap is thick to maximize flavour and size.

Taste: Shiitake are full-flavored mushrooms with a firm meat like texture, making them ideal as an ingredient for more robust recipes. Shiitake are also rich in umami, the so-called fifth taste, so they add a satisfying depth to so many dishes. Using dried or powdered Shiitake allows for a concentration of this flavour for use at any time especially in soups, stocks, or gravy. High levels of umami also means you don’t often need to add salt to a dish cooked with shiitake.

This medium sized, white mushroom resembles a lion’s mane or pom-pom. Lion’s mane mushroom is ideally eaten fresh to appreciate the taste, texture, and potential health benefits. If fresh is not an option, we always have dried available. We specifically dry right after harvest, to maximize nutrients.

Our lion’s mane mushroom is available in whole dried or a powdered form. As a powder, it can be added to anything including beverages and desserts. The sweet, nutty, almost dark chocolate aroma allows it to be more versatile than other mushrooms. Keep in mind there is no right or wrong way to use powders as they often simply add depth and flavour.

Taste: Lion’s mane mushrooms have a distinctive taste with a hint of sweetness, making them an ideal mushroom for everyday cooks and gourmet chefs alike. Like all our organic-grown mushrooms, they are low in calories and add a subtle ‘meatiness’ to all types of dishes. They are particularly by chefs for their firm texture and as an accompaniment with a seafood like texture. They are also fabulous just sliced, cooked in a little butter and garlic.

Sometimes known as ‘hen of the woods’, this exceptional mushroom looks like a coral flower with multiple ‘petals’. We carefully cultivate maitake mushrooms here in Ontario for their delicious taste, delicate texture and appealing appearance.

Taste: Maitake mushrooms have a distinctively rich earthy flavour, close to a wild harvested mushroom but available year-round. Maitake flavour is represents that bold mushroom taste needed and required for certain dishes.  Our fresh, dried or powered maitake mushrooms can also add deep and slightly spicy notes and a satisfyingly fullness to risottos or to infuse, marinate and grill.
