Year after year, mushrooms are having a moment. More than just a cool factor, shoppers have growing awareness of functional body and brain health benefits, helping them work towards their overall health and wellness goals.

Fans of foraged foods are celebrating the start of the autumn wild mushroom season. Forest floors across the Northwest are unseasonably dry, but nature has found a way, and these fall favorites have begun to pop. Look for volume and variety to increase as the rain comes in. Try these three, and keep an eye out for more wild mushrooms as the season progresses.

Fall holidays frequently mean a tight mushroom market, which can impact availability on standards such as Crimini and White Button. To supplement, look to specialty varieties from Mycopia to help fill any gaps, expand mushroom sets, and increase category sales!

Mycopia’s Chef’s Sampler package of organic mushroom varieties is the perfect item for mushroom-lovers, adventurous cooks, and the meatless Monday crowd as shoppers lean toward healthier eating in the new year!
