Why should you prefer Greek King Oyster mushrooms by Mushrooms’ Art?
We produce them in our urban farm in Thessaloniki, while the majority of King Oysters you find on the Greek market are imported – industrial type cultivation.
Mushrooms’ Art offers you guaranteed the most delicious and fresh King Oysters as it only takes a few hours from collection to consumption. Imported King Oysters are usually distressed due to the long time it takes to transport them.
The enrichment of our substrates with the best raw materials is reflected both in the taste and in the quality of the mushrooms that reach your hands. In addition, we ensure the premium quality of our mushrooms, as we cultivate them in areas of high sanitary importance, with modern technological equipment & carry out continuous quality controls
