Our Passion for Mushrooms

About Us

Sporadic Fungi began by transforming an old farm stable into a mushroom growing room. From our farm on the Essex–Suffolk border in Constable Country, we grow gourmet mushrooms and turn surplus harvests into delicious dried products, making the most of every crop.

DAY ONE DONE! 🍄🎉

What a day at Bury St Edmunds Food and Drink Festival!

A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by, chatted to us, bought our goodies and supported us stall holders!

Now it’s back to the grow room….picking, prepping and getting everything ready for tomorrow!

What better way to celebrate being stocked at @fenfarmdairy than tucking into some of their delicious limited-edition Punch! 🧀😍

We’re so excited to announce that our Dried Oyster Mushrooms and Dried Lion’s Mane are now available in all Fen Farm Dairy stores! 🎉

It’s a real privilege to see our mushrooms on the shelves alongside so many fantastic local producers. A huge thank you to the Fen Farm Dairy team for supporting fellow local businesses like ours 🥰

Our dried mushrooms are an easy way to add a rich, savoury umami flavour to all sorts of dishes - from risottos, pasta and soups to stews, sauces and more!

How to use: Simply soak in hot water for 15–20 minutes until softened, then drain and cook as you would fresh mushrooms. And don’t throw away that soaking liquid... it’s packed with mushroomy flavour! 😍🍄

So next time you’re visiting Fen Farm Dairy, pick up some award-winning cheese, fresh raw milk… and maybe a bag of Sporadic Fungi mushrooms too! 🧀🍄🌿

Whether you're planning a weekend breakfast, BBQ or a cosy dinner, we've got you covered!

I'm currently doing a leadership course for my day job, and this quote stopped me in my tracks.

Starting Sporadic Fungi has been one of the best things we've ever done, but also one of the hardest. There have been so many moments where we've questioned whether we're doing the right thing, or whether it would just be easier to stick to only our day jobs and forget the rest!

The reality is that most people only see the mushrooms, the markets and the exciting bits. They don't see the early mornings and ridiculously late nights, failed crops, equipment breaking, heatwaves or trying to fit everything around work and family.

Some days it feels like we're moving forwards. Other days it feels like we're standing still, or simply trying to hold onto the progress we've already made. But every challenge has taught us something, made us more resilient, and helped shape the business we are building 😊

That said, it's definitely not all been hard work. We've laughed so more than we ever expected, met some genuinely amazing people and been blown away by the support from customers, fellow stallholders and other local businesses. Those conversations at markets, familiar faces who come back each week, and the encouragement we have received make all the difficult days feel worthwhile!

I suppose that's why the quote resonated so much. Choosing growth isn't usually one big lightbulb moment, but it's lots of little decisions, made over and over again... I'm sure there will definitely still be days where we question what we're doing😅 but we will keep reminding ourselves why we started.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far 🍄

Look at these beauties! 😍 They almost look too good to eat...almost! 🤣

You can find a range of our fresh mushrooms this weekend at:
@suffolkfoodhall
@poplarnurseriesltd

We've got a rare weekend without markets, so we're making the most of a little recharge before another busy few weeks ahead! 🧘

We finally found someone willing to let Harry talk about mushrooms for 10 minutes straight... 🎙️🤪🍄

Harry recently joined @bbcsuffolk @bbceastofengland @bbccambridgeshire (@bbcsounds ) to chat all things mushrooms - from gourmet fungi to what it's like growing them at our converted stable in Langham, Colchester.

The best part? We did the interview live from @stowmarkettowncouncil Food and Drink Festival... talk about multitasking! 🤣

🎧 Have a listen on BBC Sounds and let us know what you think! Link in the comments and our bio 🥰

Yesterday's harvest may not have been a big one, but just look at those colours! 😍🌈🍄

Unfortunately the heatwave is still continuing to affect us, with a lot less mushrooms growing than planned from stunted growth 😣 We're really sorry to cancel our stall at Wivenhoe Market today due to lack of shrooms. We hope to be back with a fuller harvest in August!🤞🤞 We will be at @stivesmarkets today with limited fresh produce but lots of other goodies!

Thank you, as always, for everyone's ongoing support and for everyone's understanding over these last few testing weeks 🤗

Where here at @tendringshow today come to the food pavilion and say hello 👋

If you can't make it here today then you will still be able to pick some of our fresh mushrooms up in our amazing stockists:
Suffolk Food Hall
Hall Farm Stratford St Mary
John Coleman's
Poplar Nurseries

It's been a touch-and-go week for the mushrooms in this heat 🫠🥵, but we've managed to keep them thriving-ishhh (for now!! 😳🤞)! It's definitely been a week of testing, learning, and adapting....

The good news? Fresh mushrooms are available at:
@suffolkfoodhall
@hallfarmstratfordstmary
@poplarnurseriesltd
@johncolemansbutchers

And they are absolutely banging on the BBQ🔥

Unfortunately, the heat has really impacted production yesterday with crazy nearly 40 degree heat, so we can't attend Wyken Vineyards this morning as we simply don't have enough mushrooms. We're disappointed to miss it and hope to be back soon! Thank you all for your understanding and continued support 🍄💚

Wow look at these beauties 🤩!

Plenty of lions mane coming your way tomorrow at wivenhoe farmers market and @stivesmarkets we'll also have plenty of other little mushroomy treats available and also grow kits perfect for fathers day ❤️

No markets for us this weekend… we’re taking a few days away and finally tackling the mountain of admin! ✉️💻📱

Wow…what a weekend! 🥰

A huge thank you to everyone at the @hadleighshow on Saturday for such an incredible day. This was our very first time attending as stall holders and honestly… just wow! We are still processing it all!😳

We feel so lucky (and quite emotional if we’re honest!!🥹) to have been awarded First in Show in the food hall for 2026. In amongst the chaos of a very busy day, it was one of those moments where all of the early mornings, late nights, long market days and hard work suddenly all felt so worth it!

To everyone who stopped by the stand, bought one of our products, chatted with us, followed us online, or simply encouraged us throughout the day, thank you. It means the world to us and our little business 🍄

We also feel incredibly lucky to have been featured in the @eadt24 following the show, another very surreal moment for us!

Also a huge thank you to @jarrow_house_vineyard a local micro vineyard in Ardleigh, for gifting us some amazing sparkling wine so we could raise a glass together🥂 We feel very lucky to be surrounded by such supportive customers and other incredible small businesses.

Now… time for a few large cups of coffee before the next adventure this Saturday @becclesfood festival! ☕️ Hopefully see some of you there!

We’re all set up at the @hadleighshow 🍄

After lots of prep behind the scenes, we are finally here and ready for a fantastic day! 🌞 You’ll find us in the food tent with fresh mushrooms, seasonings, and plenty of other goodies!

Come and say hello and see what we’ve been growing down the road in Langham!

It still feels a little surreal being here as stall holders at events we used to visit growing up, very grateful for every bit of support 🥰

We’re at the @hadleighshow this weekend and we’re really excited! 🌿🍄

Lots of preparation happening behind the scenes to get everything ready. If you can’t make it to the show, you can still find our mushrooms stocked in some fantastic farm shops and food halls across Essex and Suffolk 💚

With the late nights and busy lives, it’s easy not to pause and think about how far things have come.

I keep this £5 in the back of my phone for that very reason- it was our very first mushroom sale, one year ago when we started Sporadic Fungi🥰

Sometimes during a busy stressful day, I’ll glance at it and it reminds me that some of the best things in life start small and of how far we have come in our small business journey.

What started as a simple idea is slowly growing around our everyday lives and turning into something really meaningful. Along the way, we have met so many incredible, kind, and genuinely wonderful people, and we are so grateful for everyone’s ongoing support and for cheering us on! 🍄

We’ll be at @bethchattogardens Spring Fair tomorrow with an abundant selection of freshly harvested mushrooms 🍄😊

Carefully grown, full of flavour, and perfect for elevating seasonal cooking. We will be perched within the stunning gardens, it’s a truly special event 🌿

We’d love to see you there😊

We are also stocked in:
@hall_farm_stratford
@suffolkfoodhall

If you’ve never tried Lion’s Mane before, this is your sign 🦁 Here is a little baby Lion's Mane grown recently in the depths of Langham - which we named Simba 😅

It’s meaty, slightly sweet, and perfect for:
• mushroom steaks
• tacos
• stir fries
• putting on toast
• or just pan-fried with butter and garlic 😍

Fresh Lion’s Mane and more locally grown mushrooms are available this week at our stockists and markets!
