Pioppini mushrooms, also known as Black Poplar mushrooms or Velvet Pioppini, have a mild, nutty flavor with subtle sweet, floral, and peppery notes. When cooked, they become meaty and crunchy with a faint floral aroma, often compared to clams. Pioppino mushrooms add a distinctive earthy and rich flavor to dishes, which intensifies when cooked.

Lions mane (Usually Available).
Lion’s mane mushrooms are frequently used as a seafood substitute in vegan and vegetarian recipes, such as chowders, crab cakes, or pan-seared “steaks”. They’re also great as a side dish, scrambled into eggs, or added to pasta dishes or grain bowls.
Lion’s mane mushrooms have a mild, sweet flavor and a tender, spongy texture that some compare to shellfish like crab or lobster. They’re also said to have a texture similar to chicken.
Pink Oyster Mushrooms (June-August).
When cooked, pink oyster mushrooms have a flavor and texture reminiscent of ham and bacon, especially when sautéed in oil. When crisped, they taste like bacon bits! Delicious fried with coconut oil and sea salt, these mushrooms can be enhanced for increased sweetness and smokiness. They’re great in stir-fries, pasta, risottos, or as pizza toppings. Particularly delightful when sautéed with garlic and herbs or marinated and grilled.
Golden Oyster Mushrooms (June-July).
Golden Oyster mushrooms are treasured for their delicate flavor and texture, making them ideal for both simple dishes and gourmet creations. Sauté them with garlic and butter or add them to stir-fries for depth and complexity. They boast a complex flavor profile, often described as sweet, nutty, and reminiscent of cashews or citrus with hints of cinnamon. These mushrooms are fragile and can easily break apart. When cooked, they develop a fleshy, tender, and chewy texture, releasing a fruity aroma reminiscent of aged red wine. Their texture varies depending on cooking time, ranging from crisp and meaty to smooth and velvety.
