FAIR THIS WEEKEND 🍬🍄

While I’m working on some fresh mushroom partnerships, I’ve been playing with candy mushrooms — flavourful little bites that fall well within the territory and let me explore new textures and tastes.

This batch is freeze-dried — a gentle method that pulls out moisture without heat, locking in colour, crunch and concentrated flavour. It’s a playful side experiment, and I’ll be bringing it along to the fair as part of the lineup.

Come have a taste, say hi, and see what else I’ve been working on. It’s going to be a good day for curious palates and easy chats.

🌞 Catch Me at the Summer Solstice Fair! 🌞

This Saturday 21st June, I’ll be Yourspace.sutton in Seears Park for the Midsummer Fair! It’s a two-day event, but I’ll be there for Saturday only, so come say hi if you’re nearby!

Whether you’re from Sutton, Wallington, Carshalton, Cheam, Epsom or just passing through – if you’re curious about mushroom growing, want to talk fungi, or check out my new freeze-drying service, I’m bringing a little selection of what I do:

🍄 Tinctures
🧼 Mushroom soap
🧂 Umami salt
🌱 Grow kits

Everything I offer helps support my work and passion for mushrooms – it’s not about profit, it’s about keeping the cycle going.
Come for a chat, browse, or just to connect !

Tomato Farcies, Home Style 🍅🌿

Just prepped and ready for the oven:
Big, juicy beef tomatoes stuffed with a mix of ground pork, shiitake, caramelised onions, parsley, garlic, salt & pepper.
On the side (well, in the same dish, obviously): garden courgettes from a friend, dunked in olive oil, hit with umami salt and topped with rosemary. All organic. All flavour.

🌱 For the veggies out there: switch the pork for dry rice mixed with that same onion/mushroom/herb base. The rice soaks up all the tomato’s juices as it bakes. No loss of depth. Possibly even better.

This is just my take.
What’s your go-to comfort bake? Any family-style recipes you always return to?

Father’s Day Fungi Fun at Yourspace.sutton 🍄🌱

Yesterday’s Father’s Day workshop was a proper community moment. We started the day with yoga on the green with ruddtara, followed by a fresh vegan buffet — thanks to lindathegreennut for fuelling the vibes!

Then came the mushroom session. I ran a hands-on workshop where around 27 people — including families, kids, and curious minds — learned how to build their own DIY mushroom kits using recycled cardboard and straw.

We covered the basics of sterile technique using a Still Air Box, transferred agar, and talked through all the simple steps needed to start growing mushrooms at home.

What really stood out was the way everyone got involved — from parents to kids. It wasn’t just about fungi; it was about education from a young age, bonding, and bringing people together through something meaningful and hands-on.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and made it such a good day. 🫶

When mushrooms start growing out of your ears… you’ve either reached enlightenment, or spent too much time in the grow room. 🍄👂🌀

Spotted this pic of Kinoko no Mimismo capsule toy from Japan. Mushrooms designed to sprout straight out your ear canal. Not for function. Pure fungal fashion.

I feel like at this point in my fungi adventure they aren’t just in the jars — they’re in my brain, my dreams, and apparently… my ears too.

Mushrooms have officially gone too far — and I’m letting them.

Shiitake update 🍄

It’s been about a month since I put the grow block outside. No fancy setup, no controlled environment — just letting the weather do its thing. For a while, it was too warm, and nothing was really fruiting.

But now? With all the rain and cooler temps lately , they’ve started to charm up. You can see in the pics: those little white cracks pushing through the block, those are pins, the start of the mushrooms breathing and growing out.

Been picking a few already, and more keep showing up. Might be the last flush before autumn, but it’s been great seeing them do their thing naturally.

Just a reminder: even a block left out can surprise you, when the time and weather are right 🌦️

Just leveled up ⚡️

The freeze dryer has landed (thanks )! Took a week to unpack after a hectic few days, but it’s now set up in the lab. I’ve kicked things off with a quick test run using some sweets.

This isn’t just gear—it’s about quality. Freeze‑drying retains around 97% of a product’s nutritional and flavour content compared to fresh. I’m focused on extracting the best value from mushrooms with zero compromise.

If you’re into foraging, preserving with intention, or curious about next‑level formats—this is for you.

Included visuals:
📦 The crate with its protective cocoon
🍬 The test batch of sweets starting to puff up

Stay tuned — I’ll share why I chose Leosmack over other makers in my next update.

🍄 Father’s Day Mushroom-Making Workshop

This Father’s Day, I’m running a hands-on mushroom-growing session in collaboration with lindathegreennut. It’s designed for dads and kids (or any grown-up + little one combo) to get creative, learn something new, and take home a grow-your-own mushroom kit.

We’ll be at Yourspace.sutton, making simple grow boxes you can decorate and then watch as they come to life over the next few weeks. No experience needed — just curiosity and a bit of mess-friendly enthusiasm.

📅 Sunday, June 15th
📍 your space Sutton, seears park
🤝 In collaboration with Linda @ The Green Nut

Hi 👋,

I’m always checking out mushroom tinctures, and man… the claims keep stacking.

Triple-distilled. 1:1… no wait, 5:1 ratios. Ultrasonic-enhanced. Dual-extracted with glacier water!
Some even hint they can cure cancer.
Sorry, but that’s not right — or accurate.
It’s about the entourage effect, not miracle promises.

Feels like the next one’s gonna be infused with unicorn dust. 🦄

What’s good? What’s marketing? What’s just number manipulation?

Ratios are one thing — but without transparency around what’s actually being measured, those numbers don’t mean much.
1:1 of what? 5:1 from what to what? And how does that even work when there’s not enough solvent to properly extract the active compounds?
Is it fresh fruiting body? Dried? Mycelium?
What solvents were used? What actually makes it through?

It’s getting harder to separate craft from hype — especially with no real regulation in the space.
There are great folks out here doing it right, for the right reasons.
But the wild west vibes are starting to get out of hand.

Would love to hear from tincture makers out here — how are you navigating this?

Not here to name and shame.

Just curious … are you seeing the same?
