About Us

Beginning on the trails of Northwest New Jersey, Fat Caps Gourmet Mushrooms was born out of a love for food and science. We began foraging in 2014, and soon found that we had a passion for mushrooms. We enjoyed researching the varieties we discovered and learning about the nutritional value & health benefits of various mushrooms – not to mention that they taste amazing! Each mushroom variety has a different flavor profile, and our recipes show just a taste of the possibilities. In fact, we’ve been impressed with the creativity that our customers have shown in their culinary skills and the many ways our mushrooms can be enjoyed. 

In 2018, we decided to bring our interest in mushrooms indoors. We built a dedicated grow room and started raising a small variety of specialty mushrooms. Since then, we’ve expanded our offerings and are hoping to eventually create our own strains. We love that our hobby has grown into a full-fledged business. Serving restaurants and farmers’ markets, we’re here to bring gourmet mushrooms to everyone from chefs to families. We hope that you can learn about mushrooms as we have and expand your horizons to include a healthy and versatile option to your dinner plate.
