Windy City Mushroom

Home to Chicago’s premium gourmet mushrooms. Located in the Ford City neighborhood of Chicago, we deliver you our freshest and finest gourmet mushrooms. Sustainable, local, organic and delicious. ~Sustainability of Mushrooms~ Mushrooms are one of the most sustainable foods on the planet! In the wild they are the worlds best decomposers; breaking down and digesting wood and other detritus that animals and insects can’t. This serves a vital role in the ecosystem but they serve a role in modern agriculture too! Our mushrooms grow off a combination of hard wood saw dust and organic soy hulls. Soy hulls are the outside of the soy bean and can’t be digested by animals like the soy beans inside of it. Both products are considered waste products, but our mushrooms love them. Unlike other animals proteins that need grain to grow and plant protein that needs space in a field, our mushrooms grow entirely from these waste products. You can’t get more sustainable than that!
