At Mykes we aim to grow the very best. Utilizing substrate of the highest quality, sourcing mycelium from the most passionate and forward-thinking mycologists, we bring some of the best-tasting mushrooms from the forest to your plate.

Quality Mushrooms Grown With Passion

Grown for the Kitchen

We are excited to offer Jersey restaurants and food enthusiasts a whole new world of culinary potential. When most people think of mushrooms, they think of Button mushrooms, Portabello, and the Paris brown (chestnut mushroom). These three are, in fact, all the same species (Agaricus bisporus). While these are delicious, they are only a fraction of the gourmet mushrooms that nature has to offer. Agaricus biporus is typically cultivated on a combination of manure and straw. At Mykes, we specialise in offering primarily wood-loving mushrooms, in particular those which grow on hardwoods, such as oak, supplemented with a range of grains and seed hulls for added nitrogen.

We search far and wide, looking into the various strains of mushroom species which mycologists have developed for the kitchen. This is done through selective cloning and breeding of mushrooms with desired characteristics (such as thicker caps and/or better texture). For example, we use a strain of lion’s mane called Lions Pride with a dense fruiting body which, when cooked properly, offers a texture very similar to meat.

Lions Mane Powder
£12.50

Supplement your diet with locally grown and processed lions mane powder. Lions mane is a mushroom that grows in cool, humid climates often high up on injured trees or on fallen trees. It has commonly been consumed in East Asia and has more recently been introduced to the western culinary scene. Modern science has also been researching this mushroom and studies indicate a link between the hericenone compound found within the fruiting body and its ability to stimulate Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) synthesis. This has the knock on effect of supporting neuronal survival, plasticity and repair.
