Mushrooms, with their earthy flavor and meaty texture, are perfect for adding depth to soups, sauces, or a variety of dishes. These versatile fungi thrive in the cool, shaded environments of Durham Region, making them an ideal choice for local farming.

The growing season for mushrooms typically begins in the spring and continues through fall, with peak harvests in the cooler months. For the freshest mushrooms, check with local farms, especially during the fall when they are at their best.
