What customers cooked with their box

Your box should arrive fresh

Open your box when it arrives and check the contents. If anything is damaged or not as expected, send us a photograph and we will put it right. You will deal with the people who grew your mushrooms, not a call centre.

  • Open and check your box on arrival
  • Send us a photo if anything is not right
  • We make it right, usually within 24 hours

Any last questions?

What exactly will be in my box?

The Classic Mix is roughly 1kg across five-plus varieties. The exact selection changes with the harvest. The Meet the Mushrooms guide on this page covers every variety we grow.

When will my box arrive?

Your box is picked and packed at the farm, then travels on a 24-hour tracked service — so it's delivered the day after it leaves us. We dispatch Monday to Thursday only, so your box never sits in a depot over a weekend. Order by Wednesday for weekend cooking.

How many portions will I get?

The Classic Mix makes around 8–15 portions depending on how you cook. A Lion's Mane box makes roughly 4–10 portions, depending on the size you choose.

How long will the mushrooms keep?

About 7 days in the fridge. Remove all packaging and store them in an open-top container so they can breathe. Use the delicate oysters early; the firmer varieties keep longest.

What if I don't know how to cook unusual mushrooms?

If you can use a frying pan you are ready: thick slices, hot pan, butter and garlic. Our recipes section has simple starters, and the guide on this page covers the best way to cook each variety.

What if something arrives damaged?

Send us a photo within 24 hours of delivery and we'll make it right — usually the same day.
