A little farm with a big mushy heart.
Milton Mushrooms started in 2014 with a love of growing, supportive chef friends, and a caravan lab. We’ve supplied local restaurants and farmers markets with gourmet mushrooms, grown medicinal mushrooms for immune-boosting drink blends, and created a range of cultures and foraging zines for Australian shroom enthusiasts.
Drawing on nearly a decade of experience, Milton Mushrooms is your guide to the world of fungi. Our mission is to help Australians learn more about the mushrooms that grow all around us, whether you're on the coast or in the big city, and how to identify, grow, and use them in everyday life.
At its heart, the farm is about the joy of interacting with our fungi friends and being part of the global mycelial network of shroomers. We’re proud to be members of the Australian Mushroom Growers Association (AMGA), Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA), and Slow Food South Coast (SFSC).
About Marita
Marita is a scientist, author, and editor passionate about fungi. She graduated with a PhB (Hons) from ANU and has spent the last decade cultivating mushrooms and community on the NSW south coast.
Her fave way to eat mushrooms is sautéed with a dab of butter, fresh garlic, himalayan salt and black pepper, which is then tossed with fresh parsley, nasturtiums and warrigal greens and paired with fresh scrambled eggs and sourdough.
