What makes our mushrooms special?
Most mushrooms sold at the grocery store are grown in compost. Our mushrooms are grown on hardwood sawdust or straw, giving them a distinct flavor and texture. Plus, our mushrooms are sold in mere days of harvest and are not shipped from the other side of the country, allowing us to provide the freshest mushrooms!
Our varieties of gourmet mushrooms
At Leslie's Gourmet Mushrooms, we produce small batches of mushrooms to ensure quality and variety. The varieties change weekly, with the most popular ones, Lion's Mane, Blue Oyster, and Pearl Oyster being available most weeks. Each mushroom offers a unique flavor and texture profile, perfect for a range of culinary creations.
Quality and Freshness, Guaranteed!
These are not the slimy canned mushrooms you grew up with! If you can imagine the difference between store bought tomatoes and fresh from the garden tomatoes, you can almost taste the difference between grocery store mushrooms and Leslie's Gourmet Mushrooms! Fresh Gourmet Mushrooms have a shorter shelf life than many store-bought mushrooms. Please store in the refrigerator in a paper bag and consume, dehydrate, cook or freeze soon after purchase.
