Ashby Fungi

Well that’s a wrap folks! After 3 years, 4,604 fruiting bags, and many, many pounds of mushrooms, the farm is officially Amanda’s! I’m very excited to see where she takes it!

It’s Emily’s last week at the Clement st farmers market! Come say goodbye and enjoy our big mushroom sale! But don’t worry because our new farmer Amanda will be back next week with the same mushrooms you love!

Late night harvest before my final weekend at farmers markets! See you at the North Beach farmers market Saturday 9-2!

We have seriously discounted oyster mushrooms available for pick up direct from the farm! I’m going on vacation this weekend so I need to clear out my stock, including lots of fresh and delicious oyster mushrooms, now available for only $10/lb at ashbyfungi.square.site! Order yours before Thurs at 5pm for pickup in Berkeley!

We’re running behind because of the Beach to Breakers road closures but Ashby Fungi will still be at the Clement St Farmers Market today!

It’s pink oyster season again… Exclusively available at the North Beach and Clement St farmers markets.

Do you love Ashby fungi? Do you love fashion?? If the answer to either of these questions is YES then you need to get one of our new bucket hats. Launching today at the Clement st farmers market and tomorrow online at ashbyfungi.square.site!

Have you bought a grow kit from me in the last few weeks, or made one at the urban adamah workshop? My test kit is ready which means yours probably is too! It took a lot longer than it has in the past in this cool weather, but as long as it’s covered in white mycelium, it should be ready to birth! Check out ashbyfungi.com/grow-kit-instructions to see those steps.

Very excited to be back at the North Beach Farmers market, my favorite neighborhood market. Come grab some mushrooms between 9am-1pm every Saturday.

Are you in the east bay and want to buy cheap, high quality mushrooms raised right here in Berkeley? Join our mailing list! Every Monday I’ll send out a list of the mushrooms we have available at Ashby fungi and you can order to pickup directly from our farm on Ashby ave. This past week my 150sq ft greenhouse produced over 200lbs of mushrooms! That’s twice as much as usual and I need people to eat them! So place your orders today at ashbyfungi.square.site and enjoy mushroom pasta, stir fries, omelette, risotto, and more!

Beech are back, baby! Slightly chewy, great in stir fries, nice umami flavor, they’re one of my favs, only available this time of year! Get yours at the Clement st market!

Order mushrooms today for pickup this week! I have lions mane, chestnuts, and oysters available. Visit ashbyfungi.square.site to place your order and check out ashbyfungi.com/recipes to get ideas for delicious recipes!

Namekos are back! These relatives of chestnut mushrooms are prized for their naturally gelatinous caps and are often added to miso soup. Come get some this Sunday at the Clement st farmers market!

Black pearls are finally back and in great numbers! Stop by the Clement st market today to get your meaty, umami rich mushrooms for roasting, marinading, and slow cooking.

This month I’d like to feature the Indigenous Environmental Network. The IEN is a coalition of indigenous, grassroots environmental justice activists. IEN helps build the capacity of indigenous communities to protect the land, water, air, natural resources, and health of people and the earth, as well as to build economically sustainable communities. Ashby Fungi will be donating 5% of our total profits in the month of November to IEN.

Chestnuts are back! Find them today at the Clement st farmers market, 9-2!

I’ve finally updated my recipes page on ashbyfungi.com/recipes. Check it out!

Noodle stir fry with beech mushrooms. I love how easy they are - small enough that you don’t have to chop them up at all. And they have a nice chew without being rubbery!
