Chestnut

Pholiota adiposa
WX029
Excellent yield

Dense clusters of golden-brown caps with a bold, nutty, earthy flavour. Firm texture holds up in long-cooked dishes. One of our highest-yielding varieties.

Chestnut mushroom (P. adiposa) is one of our best-performing strains by weight. It produces dense, tightly packed clusters of golden-brown caps with a firm texture that resists overcooking. The flavour is bolder than many mushrooms — nutty and earthy with a satisfying depth. It pairs well with strong flavours like soy, ginger, and garlic, and holds up beautifully in long braises and soups.
