About us


Grown with care. Shared with purpose. Rooted in the Midlands.

Midland Fungi is a small, independent mushroom farm based in the heart of the UK. We specialise in growing fresh gourmet mushrooms and producing high-quality growing supplies for chefs, home cooks, and passionate hobby growers.

What began as a personal obsession with fungi and sustainable food has grown—quite literally—into a full-scale operation built on clean methods, integrity, and a deep respect for nature.

 

What We Do

We cultivate a wide range of gourmet mushroom species, including Blue, Pink, Yellow, King, and Black Pearl Oysters, as well as Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, Maitake, Nameko, and more. Everything is grown indoors in tightly controlled environments without synthetic sprays or shortcuts—just hardwood substrates, clean air, proper hydration, and patience.

Our fresh mushrooms are harvested to order, packed carefully by hand, and shipped directly to your door to ensure maximum flavour and shelf life.

Alongside our mushrooms, we also supply the very same growing materials we use ourselves:

  • Sterilised grain spawn (rye and millet)
  • Substrates (hardwood, Masters Mix, CVG)
  • Colonised grain, substrate blocks, liquid cultures, and agar plates
    All sterilised or pasteurised using industry-standard equipment and packed in genuine Unicorn bags, the gold standard in mushroom cultivation.

 

Why We Exist

At Midland Fungi, we believe mushrooms are more than just food—they’re nourishment, medicine, art, and science all in one. They’re also a way to reconnect with the natural world.

Our mission is to:

  • Make gourmet mushrooms accessible to more people across the UK
  • Support beginner growers with the supplies and knowledge they need
  • Promote sustainable food systems that waste less and grow more
  • Inspire curiosity and connection through fungi

Whether you’re buying your first Lion’s Mane block, trying Blue Oysters in a stir-fry, or scaling up your grow space—we’re here for it.


Small-Scale, Big Care

We’re not a faceless factory farm. We’re a hands-on, passionate team (family-run) doing every step ourselves—from sterilising grain and pouring agar to packing mushroom boxes and printing labels.

When you support us, you’re not just getting a great product—you’re supporting a movement toward better, slower, more sustainable food.

Thanks for being part of it.
