Our Story

Some producers discover a business opportunity.

Małgorzata discovered a passion.

Fungi of Light was created from a fascination with gourmet mushrooms and the desire to produce one extraordinary product exceptionally well.

Rather than growing multiple varieties from the outset, the farm has chosen to specialise exclusively in Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus), allowing every aspect of production to be refined and improved with each growing cycle.

As production expands, the long-term vision is to create one of the UK's most trusted sources of premium Lion's Mane, combining traditional growing techniques with continuous innovation.

Why Lion's Mane?

Lion's Mane isn't just one of the world's most unusual-looking mushrooms—it is also one of the most highly regarded gourmet mushrooms available.

Recognisable by its cascading white spines, Lion's Mane has a delicate texture often compared to crab or lobster, making it incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

Its naturally mild flavour means it works beautifully sautéed in butter, grilled, roasted or added to stir fries, pasta dishes and risottos.

Growing Philosophy

Every harvest is produced with four simple principles:

✔ Quality before quantity

✔ Freshness above everything

✔ Small batch production

✔ Constant refinement of the growing process

By focusing on one species, Fungi of Light can continually improve every stage of cultivation to ensure customers receive mushrooms at their very best.

Coming Soon to Plough & Pantry

We're excited to be working alongside Fungi of Light to introduce fresh Lion's Mane mushrooms to our customers.

Initially, mushrooms will be available through limited pre-order windows while production continues to expand. This allows every harvest to be picked at peak freshness without compromising quality.

As the farm grows, availability will gradually increase.

Looking Ahead

Alongside fresh mushrooms, Fungi of Light is also developing premium home Lion's Mane Grow Kits, allowing customers to experience growing these incredible mushrooms themselves.

We'll be sharing more about these exciting products as they become available.
