Fresh, local, and grown with real passion 🍄

Santa Cruz Mushrooms founder Chris Phillips puts incredible care into every mushroom he grows, focusing on quality, freshness, and flavor you can truly taste. His mushrooms are featured in a number of restaurants throughout Santa Cruz County, a reflection of the care and consistency he brings to his craft. Stop by and Chris can help you bring that same quality home, often sharing a favorite recipe or cooking tip so you can create your own amazing meals.

Supporting local means connecting with people who genuinely love what they do, and it shows in every bite.
