At Lake Tahoe Markets, we love celebrating growers who bring something truly special to our community and Tahoe Mushroom Company does exactly that. Their mushrooms aren’t just an ingredient; they’re a reflection of the Sierra itself, grown with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for the natural world.

We’re proud to carry their full lineup at Tahoe’s only Online Farmers Market, making it easy for shoppers across the Basin to bring home gourmet mushrooms at peak freshness. From velvety oyster clusters to meaty lion’s mane, every variety is cultivated in small batches using clean, sustainable methods that highlight the pure flavor of the fungi.

Tahoe Mushroom Company is also a beloved vendor at both the Ski Run Farmers Market and the Incline Village Farmers Market, where their booth has quickly become a must-visit stop. Shoppers linger to ask questions, swap recipe ideas, and admire the beautiful textures and colors of each harvest. 

Tahoe Mushroom Company’s varieties shine in the kitchen. Their lion’s mane caramelizes beautifully in a hot pan, transforming into something almost seafood-like. Oyster mushrooms roast into crisp, delicate petals perfect for topping grain bowls or tacos.  These mushrooms aren’t just ingredients; they’re invitations to cook creatively.

Tahoe Mushroom Company brings freshness, innovation, and mountain spirit to every market day and we’re honored to share their mushrooms with our community both online and in person. If you haven’t cooked with their varieties yet, this is your invitation to explore something extraordinary.
