Located on a small farm in Western Sonoma County, California, Gourmet Mushrooms Inc. has been growing and harvesting specialty mushrooms since 1977. Our mushrooms are grown just like in nature, on a mixture of ground oak wood and rice hulls - never manure. They are nurtured along until mature, then carefully harvested and packed by hand.
Their subtle umami flavor makes mushrooms suitable for just about every dish, from pasta to soup, casserole, or the grill. Even substitute our mushrooms for meat.
Fine restaurants around the country have been serving our mushrooms for years. Certified organic in 2003, we guarantee that the taste and quality of our mushrooms are as nature intended. We like to say that we are “No longer wild but far from tame.”
Our Story
Most people are familiar with very few of the delicious mushroom varieties growing today. There are thousands of edible mushrooms and we’ve cultivated a few of these wonderful fungi for others to enjoy. We are committed to sustainable, organic cultivation and hope our mushrooms add something new and delicious to your diet.
- David & Malcolm
We think of ourselves as the biggest little mushroom farm in America, small in size but rich in history and variety.
In 1977, David Law and Malcolm Clark formed a partnership based on their mutual fascination with the Kingdom of Fungi. They founded Gourmet Mushrooms Inc. in Sonoma County, California, and introduced the first commercial shiitake mushroom grown in America. Shiitakes are now so widely cultivated and available they are considered a commodity.
Building on the success of the shiitake, Malcolm and David continued to cultivate dozens of varieties of mushrooms over the years. Malcolm retired in 2006 and continues to source rare mushrooms here and abroad.
A diverse variety of mushrooms, once only accessible to the experienced forager, are now available year round. Gourmet Mushrooms also cultivates and processes rare mushrooms, not available for eating, used as organic ingredients in nutraceutical health products.
The farm gained USDA Organic status in 2003. Our mushrooms grow on a rich mixture of sawdust and rice hulls, never manure. We use the Japanese method of bottle cultivation and harvest daily to insure a fresh, delicious mushroom for our customers.
Our mushrooms are meticulously grown, harvested and packed by hand. The careful cultivation and hand harvesting result in an extremely fresh and vital mushroom.
Mycopia® brand specialty mushrooms can be found in gourmet grocery stores and are served in some of the finest restaurants in the country. Our motto is "No longer wild but far from tame.” We offer you true culinary treasures of the field and forest, conveniently grown to please your palate year-round.
