"The Home of the English Maitake"
Without doubt Maitake mushrooms are the best tasting of ALL mushrooms. But not only do they taste great they are revered throughout the world for their medicinal properties. Find out more by clicking Maitake. Maitake Mushrooms may not look very appealing to the eye, but once you have tasted a Maitake Mushroom you won't be able to resist them in the future. Maitake Mushrooms have recently hit the headlines after research in the USA have shown them to contain powerful anti cancer properties.

Brothers Tim & Simon have been growing Exotic Mushrooms since 1985, continuing their family's tradition of growing mushrooms in Leicestershire over the last 60 years.

The Mushroom Basket is a retail counter at Lowerfields Mushroom Farm.

The Mushroom Basket is a real “Farm Shop” and not just a “Shop on the Farm”, where visitors can buy our full range of Exotic mushrooms picked fresh daily off the farm, (and get advice on how to use them). Also on sale is our own Normanton Pedigree Hereford Beef and Normanton Lamb all of which are produced on our other farm just a mile away at Normanton le Heath. Additionally other mushroom related products such as cookery books etc are also on sale.
