I was amazed how quickly my order arrived! Wow! I have been buying dried mushrooms in Spain but Merit Mushrooms has such an amazing variety (most of which I have not heard of, but I am certainly going to try all of them!). I stumbled upon this company when I was buying fresh Lion's Mane in Planet Organic, I am so happy I have discovered Merit Mushrooms.

Fantastic product. Easy to use, and fascinating to watch the lions mane mushrooms develop and grow. Delicious taste and texture. Growing my third harvest.

Everything arrived promptly. Well packaged, the dried mushrooms were incredible and the fruiting block is doing great.

It was great to discover this relatively local mushroom business. They have a wide variety of fresh and dried mushrooms to choose from my faves being the Oyster and Lions Mane mushrooms. I bought a few of both. I have tried the fresh Lions mane which were well packaged and delicious sautéed in the pan.

Merit Mushrooms’ kits are superb! Easy to follow instructions and so much fun to watch the process. Fast delivery means they reach you at prime fruiting time. Pic below is the blue oyster kit after 6 days.

Sustainable and Ecological Mushroom Cultivation

The substrates that we utilise are made from residues of what would have been burnt raw materials. By growing our mushrooms on these substrates, we are reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions associated with the discarding of such materials.

​

These transformed residues are excellent for mushroom cultivation as the powerful decomposing power of fungi breaks down this substrate and transforms it into a great fertiliser for soil.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSHROOMS

Since ancient times, people have learnt to select and eat mushrooms through ‘mycology’ – the study of fungi. With mushrooms being one of the earliest forms of life on Earth, knowing about them is crucial. Being master decomposers, mushrooms have been able to live and adapt to changing conditions on our planet and are the foundation to life as we know it. 

​

Without mushrooms, we wouldn't be where we are now.
