Organic Trumpet Royale and other varieties

Gourmet Mushrooms, Inc., is best known for their Trumpet Royale, a favorite of Planet Organics mushroom-lovers. Engel, a former chef, lights up when talking about mushrooms. "Mushrooms change their character the same way meat does, depending on the way they’re cooked and what they’re paired with. They can be hearty or delicate, depending on your mood. Not only are they delicious, they’re also good for you! Mushrooms are rich in antioxidants and are used as immune supporters." Their mushrooms are grown year round in their immaculate indoor farm in Sebastopol.
