At Livesey Brothers we grow six different varieties of woodland mushrooms. All of our woodland mushrooms are easy to prepare and cook. With most of our mushrooms, there is little wastage and each mushroom brings its own individual taste and texture to a dish.  ​

​

The Oyster Mushroom & Yellow Oyster has a delicate taste, but also has the ability to absorb surrounding flavours. This means it can increase the strength of a dish  which makes it an ideal addition to soups and sauces.​​

​

Eryngi is also know as the King Oyster mushroom, due to it being the King of the Oyster variety. Is has a thick, firm bite and like the oyster, can absorb and enhance even the simplistic of flavours.

​

Maitake is so beautiful in flavour and texture, according to Chinese folk law, when it was found, people used to dance and sing, earning the mushroom the title of “The Dancing Mushroom”.

​

Shiitake is very similar to white mushrooms in shape, but has a much more peppery taste and meatier aroma when cooked.

​

Nameko mushrooms are firm and silky with a delicious cashew-butterscotch aroma and a mildly fruity, nutty, and earthy flavour. They are best sautéed or grilled and are often used in soups, stews, risottos and sauces.
