Rhyze Mushrooms is a not-for-profit worker’s coop focused on harnessing the decomposing power of mushrooms to grow food from local woody waste products.
Pearl Oyster Mushrooms
In the wild these grow on dead or dying deciduous trees, but Rhyze grows them on a mixture of local business byproducts made up of: 70% sawdust, 15% used coffee grounds and 15% coffee chaff collected from coffee roasters.
Beautiful and meaty, the Oyster mushrooms make great additions to stir-fries, soups, pies or pasta dishes and are known to convert sworn mushroom haters to funghi enthusiasts. They are also incredibly healthy, with high levels of fibre, protein and important vitamins including D and B12.
