OUR JOURNEY
From Vault to Table
Growing in an Underground Vault
Our Unique Growing Environment
Nestled underground, our mushrooms are grown in a specialised vault under the heart of Leicester, creating a stable, sustainable environment free from external pollutants. As quality mushroom growers, we chose this location as it offers ideal humidity and temperature control, enabling our mushrooms to thrive year-round. Our vault-grown mushrooms are nurtured in nutrient-rich compost, ensuring they receive everything they need to develop their characteristic flavours and nutritional benefits.
CONSISTENT CLIMATE
The underground location is a controlled indoor space with regulated temperature, humidity, light, and airflow. This setup allows for optimal growth conditions tailored to the needs of different mushroom varieties.
REDUCED CONTAMINANTS
Growing in an isolated vault regulates temperature, humidity, light, and airflow. This setup helps prevent contamination and allows for optimal growth conditions tailored to the needs of different mushroom varieties.

FAQs
Why are your mushrooms grown in an underground vault?
Our mushrooms are grown in an underground vault to create a stable, controlled environment with ideal humidity and temperature levels. This unique setting is free from external pollutants, allowing us to cultivate cleaner, more nutrient-rich mushrooms year-round with minimal environmental impact.
How does growing underground affect the quality of the mushrooms?
The underground vault offers a consistent climate that enhances the mushrooms' flavour and nutritional profile. This controlled environment reduces the need for artificial climate control, which helps maintain natural, high-quality mushrooms with a smaller environmental footprint.
What are the benefits of vault-grown mushrooms?
Vault-grown mushrooms are not only rich in nutrients but also have an exceptional flavour profile due to their stable, clean growing environment. By reducing exposure to contaminants and pollutants, we can provide a purer, more organic product that’s handpicked at peak ripeness for maximum freshness.
How are your mushrooms harvested?
Our mushrooms are hand-harvested by a skilled team who carefully select only the best mushrooms at peak ripeness. This hands-on approach ensures that each mushroom meets our high standards for freshness, quality, and flavour.
Do you supply mushrooms to individual consumers?
We currently supply our mushrooms directly to businesses, including restaurants and health food stores. However, we’re excited to soon offer our premium vault-grown mushrooms to individual customers. Register your interest to be the first to know when they become available for home delivery.
Who do you currently supply mushrooms to?
We supply high-quality mushrooms to businesses that prioritise premium ingredients, such as restaurants, health food suppliers, and wellness-focused retailers. Our mushrooms are perfect for clients seeking fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients for their customers.
How does your underground growing process contribute to sustainability?
Growing mushrooms in an underground vault reduces energy usage for climate control, as the natural environment maintains stable conditions. Additionally, this method reduces our reliance on artificial heating and cooling, supporting a more sustainable agricultural approach.
Are your mushrooms organic?
While we’re not officially certified organic, our vault environment limits exposure to external pollutants, ensuring a cleaner product. We use nutrient-rich compost and carefully monitor our growing practices to produce mushrooms that are as close to organic as possible.
