Amy and Mickey fell in love with the ease and enjoyment of growing gourmet mushrooms at home and started a business inspired by their passion.
Lots of people enjoy the flavour and texture of mushrooms in their meals and have tried to grow their own with mixed results. Mickey my partner and I were given a mushroom kit for Christmas back in 2016 and got to taste oyster mushrooms for the first time. We were hooked and threw ourselves into learning all we could about this delicious fungi. Now we grow them in shipping containers and sell them to restaurants and cafes in Brisbane and make ready-to-grow mushroom kits so people can experience growing their own.
