$35.00 Sold Out

Fresh lobster mushrooms — vibrant, meaty, and bursting with ocean-like umami. Harvested at peak freshness, our lobster mushrooms offer a firm, dense texture and a striking coral to deep orange-red hue that brings both visual flair and bold flavor to any dish.

Tasting notes

  • Robust, seafood-savory aroma with subtle nutty undertones.
  • Pronounced umami and sweet, shellfish-like finish — no actual seafood present.
  • Meaty, satisfying bite that holds up well to searing, roasting, and grilling.

Culinary uses

  • Sautéed in butter and garlic as a simple, flavorful side.
  • Folded into cream sauces, risottos, or pasta for rich depth.
  • Grilled or roasted whole as a striking vegetarian main.
  • Pickled or incorporated into soups, stews, and shakshuka for complexity.

Quality and handling

  • Carefully cleaned and packed to preserve texture and flavor.
  • Sold fresh; refrigerate immediately and use within 3–5 days for best quality.
  • Can be briefly blanched and frozen if longer storage is needed — note slight texture change upon thawing.

Sizing and availability

Available in mixed-size clusters and whole caps. Seasonally harvested; limited quantities — order early for best selection.

Allergy note. Naturally free of shellfish; flavor resemblance is purely culinary. If you have mushroom allergies, do not consume.
