Shropshrooms cultivates gourmet blue oyster mushrooms indoors, in small controlled-climate batches, and gets them into local hands within hours of harvest — not days after a motorway journey from a distribution depot.
Picked to order and delivered within hours — no cold-chain wholesale delay.
Cultivated indoors in Cleobury Mortimer under controlled humidity and airflow, year-round.
Firm-textured blue oyster clusters selected for flavour and plate presentation.
Shropshrooms began as a spare-room trial in Cleobury Mortimer and is growing into a dedicated indoor cultivation operation supplying gourmet oyster mushrooms across Shropshire, including Ludlow. Every block is grown, monitored, and harvested by hand, so the mushrooms that reach a kitchen or market stall were still on the shelf a day, or sometimes only hours, before.
I’m Dylan Griffiths, the founder of Shropshrooms. I come from a corporate technology marketing background, but I started Shropshrooms to get back to nature — and to help give other people genuinely high-quality, nutritional food. There’s something grounding about growing something real with your hands, and I want to share the best of it with my local community.
Our core variety is the blue oyster mushroom: fan-shaped clusters with a firm bite, mild savoury flavour, and a texture that holds up well to searing, roasting, and pan-frying. Each block is grown to a natural two-flush cycle before the substrate is retired to local composting.
Shropshrooms supplies three kinds of customer: independent kitchens who want a same-week ingredient story to put on the menu, specialist food retailers looking for a distinctive local line, and home cooks who want restaurant-quality mushrooms without a supermarket detour.
Restaurants, gastropubs and cafés across Ludlow and Cleobury Mortimer wanting a locally-sourced, menu-worthy ingredient.
Specialist food retailers such as farm shops and delicatessens stocking distinctive, short-supply-chain produce.
Market-goers and subscribers collecting fresh mushrooms directly, for weekend cooking and batch meals.
Shropshrooms officially launches in October 2026 — our first harvests will be reaching local kitchens, delis and home cooks across South Shropshire.
