Longmont · delivered across the Front Range
Foxfire grows gourmet mushrooms indoors at 5,000 feet — which means blue oyster, lion’s mane, king trumpet and shiitake every week of the year, not just in market season. We harvest to order the morning of delivery. Nothing is ever picked into inventory and waited on.

Harvested to order the morning of delivery — never picked into inventory.
The workhorse. Deep savoury, faintly aniseed, holds a hard sear without weeping. Grows in tight fan clusters.
Searing, roasting, mushroom "bacon", stock
Shredded crab or lobster texture and a sweet, mild flavour. Browns beautifully in butter; the most-requested species we grow.
Crab cakes, cutlets, pan-searing whole
Thick single stems with a dense, snappy bite. Cross-cut into rounds it behaves like a scallop and takes a glaze.
Scallop cuts, grilling, skewers, braising
Smoky and bacon-adjacent when cooked hot and hard. Vivid pink raw, fading in the pan. Short shelf life — cook it fast.
Carnitas, tacos, high-heat sauté
Thick donko-style caps off oak-hull blocks. Meaty, umami-heavy, the best stem-to-stock ratio of anything here.
Dashi, ramen, roasting, XO sauce
Speckled cinnamon caps, crisp stems, nutty and robust. Keeps its texture in a wet dish better than most.
Risotto, stir fry, pickling
Dark caps on long cream stems with an intense forest flavour. The species chefs ask for by name and rarely find fresh.
Pasta, game, red meat, hot pot
Bright yellow, delicate, faintly cashew-sweet. A plate-stopper for garnish work; fragile, so it travels short distances only.
Garnish, quick sauté, market retail
Maitake and beech run seasonally alongside the nine. Ask about a species you want on the menu — a reserved block run takes about six weeks to reach your kitchen.
Zones are drawn by drive time, not mileage, because drive time is what a fresh delivery actually costs. Each zone has a fixed day that never moves.
