Adi's Urban Mushrooms' Process

Know What You're Buying

Before anything else, it helps to know where your money goes. Adi's Urban Mushrooms is a non-profit social enterprise, so every pound supports community mycology and local, circular food systems rather than shareholders or profit margins. You can read more in Where Your Money Goes below.

Here is what you are actually buying across each of our product groups:

Fresh mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms grown locally at The Remakery in Camberwell/Brixton, harvested fresh for weekend farmers' markets and local delivery in South London.

Processed mushrooms

Mushroom jerky, deeply umami mushroom stock, gourmet risotto boxes, and dried foraged porcini and mixed boletes - made from surplus fresh mushrooms and locally foraged fungi, so nothing goes to waste. Coming soon: seasoned mushroom powders and crisps.

Services

Mushroom cultivation workshops and guided foraging walks, taught by someone with 45+ years' experience. Sliding-scale tickets keep them accessible to everyone.

Where Your Money Goes

As a non-profit social enterprise, every pound supports Adi's Urban Mushrooms to create opportunities for people to connect with fungi and each other, and to create local circular food systems for the benefit of people and the environment. Your money doesn't go to shareholders or profit margins - it goes back into community, learning, and sustainability.

When you buy from me, you're supporting:

• Community Mycology Lab (coming soon) - £11,000 reinvested into a state-of-the-art mycology lab, supporting local growers and artists working with mycelium.
• South London Mushroom Club - monthly gatherings for fungi enthusiasts to create, learn, share knowledge, and build a network whatever your interest in mushrooms is.
• Food Bank Mushroom Growing Project (planned) - teaching local users of food banks how to grow their own mushrooms, with recycled packaging straw, increasing nutritious food access in under-resourced communities.

I'm committed to building a local circular economy where mushrooms support community resilience and environmental sustainability.
