Ordering

Two drops a week. Simple terms.

Order by 14:00 the day before, take at least 2 kg, and it reaches your kitchen picked the evening before. Everything a kitchen needs for a first order is on this page. For what each mushroom is like in the pan, see what we grow.

01 · Prices

Prices by the kilo

Per kilo unless marked. Mix any varieties in half-kilo steps to make up the 2 kg minimum. Delivery is priced further down, and crates carry a €4 deposit that comes back with the crate.

June to September

Pink oyster

€14 per kg

Keeps 4 to 5 days

All year · By the bag

Dried shiitake

The same shiitake from the same rooms, dried and bagged for stocks, braises and the back shelf.

€13 per 250 g bag

Add bags to any Tuesday or Friday drop

Standing weekly orders

Five kilos or more, every week

Grey oyster comes down to €10, pink oyster to €13, fresh shiitake to €15 and lion's mane to €23. It applies to every variety on the order, for as long as the order stands.

€1 off every kilo

How standing orders change is set out below

02 · Cut-offs

Two cut-offs, two drops

We pick the evening before each drop, so your order has to reach us before the picking list is made.

Order cut-offs

Monday 14:00 for Tuesday. Thursday 14:00 for Friday.

Orders in by then are picked that evening, packed in waxed paper bags inside returnable crates, and at your kitchen door before 10:30 the next morning. The office answers Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 15:00.

Every August we close for two weeks. Last orders by 14:00 the Thursday before, deliveries restart the Tuesday after, and standing orders get the exact dates by the end of June. Rok's note on the closure.

Minimum per drop

2 kg

Mixed any way you like, in 500 g steps.

A kilo of grey oyster, half a kilo of shiitake and half a kilo of lion's mane makes a drop.

03 · Delivery

Where we deliver, and what it costs

Ljubljana and a 35 km ring around it, on the same Tuesday and Friday drops. Everything arrives before 10:30.

Inside Ljubljana

Free from 3 kg.

3 kg and over
Free
Under 3 kg
€6 a drop
Arrives
Before 10:30

The 35 km ring

€12 a drop, 5 kg minimum.

  • Kranj
  • Kamnik
  • Domžale
  • Vrhnika
  • Grosuplje
  • Litija

Any kitchen within 35 km of Ljubljana, the towns above included. Past that line we don't go, and nothing travels by courier or post. That is one of the things we turn down.

Keeping

2-4 °C

Into your cold room as soon as the crate arrives. At that temperature the crop holds 5 to 7 days. Two exceptions: lion's mane is best within 4 days, and pink oyster within 5.

Each variety's own shelf life and kitchen note is on the mushrooms page.

Packing and collection

Waxed paper bags, returnable crates.

Picked the evening before, bagged in waxed paper so the mushrooms can breathe, and stacked in crates that come back to us.

Collecting from the farm is possible on Saturday, 08:00 to 11:00, by arrangement only. Write first.

04 · Standing orders

Standing orders move slowly, on purpose

Most kitchens settle into the same order every week. Small changes are easy. Big ones need the grow rooms to catch up.

Small changes

2 kg

Up or down on a standing order, with one week's notice.

Enough room for a busy fortnight or a quiet one without anything going to waste.

Larger increases

The blocks have to grow before we can pick more.

A bigger order isn't a matter of picking harder. Extra kilos come from extra blocks. We keep some incubating ahead, but bringing more of them into the fruiting rooms, and starting their replacements, takes time. So the notice depends on the mushroom:

Grey and pink oyster
2 weeks
Shiitake
3 weeks
Lion's mane
5 weeks

The whole cycle, from steamed sawdust to crop, is on the farm page: how a block becomes a mushroom.

05 · New accounts

Opening an account

Two payments up front, then one invoice a month. No contracts to sign.

Payment terms

The first two drops are paid ahead. After that, one invoice a month.

Pay the first two deliveries in advance by bank transfer. From the third drop on, everything goes on a single monthly invoice, due in 14 days.

To open an account, write to us with your rough weekly kilos, the varieties you want and whether Tuesday or Friday suits your kitchen.

Crate deposit

€4

Per crate, refunded in full when the crate comes back to us.

The same crates go round and round, between our grow rooms on the edge of the Barje and your cold room.

06 · What we turn down

What we turn down

We'd rather say it here than in a reply. Two people and three grow rooms can only do a few things, so we do these.

Not from us

  • Private households. Restaurants, bistros and hotel kitchens only.
  • Orders under 2 kg. Two kilos a drop is the floor.
  • Wild or foraged mushrooms, and truffles. Everything we sell grew in our own rooms.
  • Extracts, powders, tinctures and health claims. Lion's mane included. It is very good food, and that is all we say about it.
  • Grow kits, spawn or spent blocks. Spent blocks go to the compost heap and the neighbours' vegetable beds.
  • Courier or postal shipping. We deliver within 35 km of Ljubljana and no further.
  • Pre-sliced, vacuum-packed or own-label packing for shops. Whole mushrooms in waxed paper, for kitchens.
