About the Mushroom

The Paddy Straw Mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) is an edible, high-temperature fungus. We are growing this mushroom organically at the Sundarban belt region (West Bengal) because of its loving nature towards hot and humid climates.

Paddy straw mushrooms are unique due to their extremely fast development, often maturing from spawn to harvestable yield in as little as 10 to 16 days. They are also renowned for their delicate texture, rich umami flavour, and incredible nutritional benefits.
