As ‘Gourmet Champignons’ we champion gourmet goodness for all! From home foodies and vivacious vegans to restaurateurs and fine chefs, we believe that everyone should have access to the amazing taste and health benefits of ‘Mushroom Exotica’.

Ruby Creek is an urban, gourmet mushroom farm on the Quandamooka Coast (Redlands Coast) and we truly believe that the best way to experience mushrooms are fresh, locally grown mushrooms.

Picked at precisely the right time and served as soon as possible, we mostly supply our ‘Mushroom Exotica’ to local Chefs, restaurants and caterers. Mushroom Exotica isn’t just for the chefs and cooks, you can also buy them freshly harvested from us at local markets, or grow your own with one of our grow kits to get the freshest result right in your kitchen.

MUSHROOM VARIETIES

Shiitake

Possibly our most flavourful mushroom thanks to their beautiful earthy, umami flavouring. The silky smooth texture of Shiitake caps will melt in your mouth, whilst their stems remain full-bodied and firm. Shiitakes go well in hearty soups, stews, risotto, you name it. Bonus points for boosting immunity and lowering cholesterol! Said to also boost energy, cell growth and improve circulation.

Our variety of seasonal Oyster mushrooms boast a beautiful variety of colours, flavours and textures to suit a vast array of dishes. Packed with protein, they are easily the hero of any dish. It is widely claimed that they can reduce cholesterol and have cancer-fighting properties.

Boasting a delicious mild and nutty flavour, these long stemmed mushrooms hold their full-bodied texture. Hence why this is the most popular risotto or pasta mushroom! It is claimed that Swordbelt mushrooms are powerful antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties.
