We’ve got lots more hours now than before!
Trying to be your neighbor shop you can swing by on the way to or from work, mid day for picnic lunches and so on
Eventually we’ll whittle off a day so we have one and hours if it seems unnecessary to be open. I’m guessing Monday but Tuesday could be on the chopping block too
Thank you everyone who’s been in so far! It’s been so nice settling in and seeing familiar faces from our last spot and meeting our new neighbors:)

BIG THANK YOU to every one who came and hung out in the chilly weather for our second annual mushroom fest!
Chaz of the theveryfungi had a line to make grow kits the whole time, all of Somerville Fermentation Festival cabbage disappeared, Jim from the Boston Mycological Club chatted wild local mushrooms all day, and yall kept the shop busy in Cambridge and at our pop up stand a bow!
Saw lots of outfits and accessories through out the day with a few stand out costumes! Prized to be announced in the near future!
So nice to see a wide diversity of mushroom foods out there in Bow Market as well! Not to mention the delicious chanterelles/matsu saison from Remnant Brewing
The pink balloons are “wolf’s milk slime mold” for those of you wondering. You’ll have to look it up !

Just a little moment to reflect and enjoy the wonders of the fungal world!

Hope to see you there,

A rare seasonal treat, poricni!
A mushroom everyone has heard of but I think so few people around here really know!
It’s a simple and delicious mushroom, that because of its short season and wild nature ends up being a bit expensive (unless you can pick em your self- see classes and email list in bio)
Other photo drops here for weekly thjgns
El Barrio the best flour tortillas around! They’re flakey and puffy like a croissant
Wild local chicken mushrooms, same for hen of the woods
Pawpaws have been flying off the shelves. Lots of folks showing up for these, feels like we still have several good flushes left, with some big ones comin!
Wild plant and mushroom posters/pamphlets
Local/PNW wild matsutake - season is great, low price for the closed/japanese quality!
Please come in and see out new location at 484 Cambridge st in Cambridge .

Big props to shop manager Liam for keepin the shop on the rails, especially though the big move as well!
