Our story
Grown with intention, harvested with care
From a small shed in Serpentine to Waikiki's most trusted gourmet mushroom grower — this is the story of The Shroomery.
How it began
A passion rooted in the earth
The Shroomery began the way most good things do — with curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty. What started as a personal fascination with fungi quickly grew into something far greater: a small-batch cultivation operation dedicated to producing the finest gourmet mushrooms in Western Australia.
Based in Waikiki, just south of Perth, we tend our crops with the same care and attention you'd find in any artisan food producer. Every variety we grow is selected for its flavour, texture, and nutritional depth — not for shelf life or ease of transport.
Our mission
Bringing exceptional fungi to your table
We believe that what you eat should connect you to the place it came from. Our mission is simple: grow the best mushrooms we can, treat the land with respect, and share the results with people who care about quality.
Small-batch quality
We never scale beyond what we can do well. Every flush is monitored, every harvest timed to perfection.
Sustainable practice
Our growing methods minimise waste and work with natural cycles — no synthetic inputs, no shortcuts.
Community first
We supply local restaurants, farmers markets, and home cooks who share our belief that provenance matters.
Farming philosophy
The way we grow
Mushrooms are not plants. They don't follow the same rules, and they reward growers who take the time to understand them on their own terms. At The Shroomery, we've spent years refining our environment — humidity, airflow, substrate composition, light cycles — to coax the best possible expression from each variety.
We grow oyster mushrooms, lion's mane, shiitake, and seasonal specialty varieties, each in conditions tailored to their biology. Our substrate is locally sourced, our water is filtered, and our growing rooms are managed by hand — not by algorithm.
The result is a mushroom that looks, smells, and tastes the way it should. Dense, fragrant, and alive with flavour.
We grow mushrooms the way they deserve to be grown — slowly, carefully, and with deep respect for the process.
