Our first ever Chestnut, and it is already pinning in the grow room.

This is Pholiota adiposa. Before anyone asks — it is not the chestnut mushroom you buy in the supermarket. That one is just a brown button, a different mushroom entirely.

This one is nutty and firm, and unlike most mushrooms it keeps its bite after cooking. It holds up in a stir fry or a stew instead of going soft on you.

Ready in a week or two. Message me or ring 07426 789162 if you want to be first to try it.

Tomorrow I am at Ballymena market for the first time, from 8am.

So if you are about Ballymena or Broughshane, come down and see me.

Mixed boxes, all cut fresh — Lion's Mane, King Oyster and Blue Oyster in every one. £10 for 500g, £18 a kilo, same price whatever is in the box.

Never cooked Lion's Mane before? Come and ask, I will tell you what to do with it.

Early is best. When it is gone it is gone.

Both our markets this weekend got cancelled. You have seen the wind out there.

So everything I cut for them is sitting here on the bench. Baskets of Blue Oyster,King Oyster, and plenty of Lion's Mane, all cut this morning.

This weekend everything is the same price — £10 for 500g, £18 a kilo. Lion's Mane included, which it normally never is.

And if you take a kilo or more, I will put 20% extra in the bag. Just for this batch, while it lasts.

Collection from the farm at Broughshane, or I can post next day with Royal Mail for £5.70. Message me here or ring 07426 789162 and I will sort you out.

Lion's Mane, cut this morning.

Look at the size of these heads. This is the Samson strain, the one we brought over from Colorado, and it has been the best thing we have grown all year.

If you have never cooked it before, it is easier than it looks. Tear it into chunks with your hands, dry fry it in a hot pan with no oil until it goes golden, then butter and salt right at the end. It comes out somewhere between crab meat and a good scallop.

£12 for 500g, £22 a kilo.

Collect from the farm at Broughshane, or Royal Mail next day for £5.70. Message me or ring 07426 789162 and I will put one aside for you.

Twenty five bags.

Every single one of them is an order, and every one is going out today — the Belfast run, a big batch for my friends from work, and eight bags heading to Lisnahay Farm Meats.

So if you are over Cairncastle way this Saturday, that is where you will find ours. They are open 10 to 2.

A week ago I was on here asking for help because the fridge was full and I had nowhere for it to go. Today the whole rack is packed and labelled.

I just want to say thank you. To everyone who ordered, everyone who shared the post, and everyone who sent me a message. That is what keeps a one man farm like this going.

Cutting again next week — message me and I will put you on the list.

Friday delivery run — and I need a few more orders to make it happen.

I am driving into Belfast this Friday, 16 October, and I can drop anywhere along the road home from Broughshane.

Cut today: four baskets. Two of Lion's Mane and two of oysters.

Lion's Mane £12 for 500g, £22 a kilo.
King and Blue Oyster £10 for 500g, £18 a kilo.
Mixed box £10 for 500g, £18 a kilo.

Orders by Thursday evening, please. Message me here or ring 07426 789162 and I will put you on the list.

If you are not on the route, you can still collect from the farm at Broughshane, or I can post next day with Royal Mail for £5.70.

SPECIAL — 1 kg for £10.

Three baskets that need to go. These were cut five or six days ago, so they are not going in a shop bag — but they are still firm and still perfect for cooking. I would cook them myself tonight.

This is not our normal price. Normally a kilo of oyster is £18 and Lion's Mane £22. This is a one off, just to clear what is in the fridge.

First come, first served. Message me or ring 07426 789162.

You can now find our mushrooms at Lisnahay Farm Meats.

Mixed bags of Lion's Mane, King Oyster and Blue Oyster will be in their farm shop this Saturday, 10am to 2pm, all cut fresh here in Broughshane.

If you are picking up your meat anyway, you can now get your mushrooms in the same stop. Two local farms, one shopping trip.

Get there early — we have found they do not sit about for long.

Please feel free to contact us for your order. 📩🍄

Thank you. You cleared us out.

Last week I asked for a wee bit of help and you did not let me down — every single box went in two days. I did not expect that, and I am still thinking about it.

So here we go again. The room has come good exactly like last week: Lion's Mane, King Oyster and Blue Oyster, all cut in the last two days.

Lion's Mane, £12 for 500g or £22 a kilo.
King Oyster and Blue Oyster, £10 for 500g or £18 a kilo.
Mixed box, 500g for £10 or 1kg for £18.

Collect from the farm at Broughshane, or Royal Mail next day for £5.70.

Send me a message with what you fancy and I will set it aside for you. Last week went quicker than I thought, so do not leave it too long.

Please feel free to contact us for your order. 📩🍄

Belfast run — Friday 16 October.

I am driving into Belfast on Friday the 16th, so if you are in the city or anywhere along the road from Broughshane, this is your chance to get our mushrooms delivered to your door.

Lion's Mane, King Oyster and Blue Oyster, all cut the day before, never sitting in a warehouse.

Lion's Mane, £12 for 500g or £22 a kilo.
King Oyster and Blue Oyster, £10 for 500g or £18 a kilo.
Mixed box, 500g for £10 or 1kg for £18.

Send me a message with what you would like and your rough area, and I will work out the route. Orders by Thursday the 15th please, so I know how much to cut.

If you are not in Belfast but you are somewhere on the way, say so anyway — if it is near the road I will drop it in.

Please feel free to contact us for your order. 📩🍄
