About Gourmet Woodland Mushrooms’ Owner, Adrian Ogden

Adrian’s interest in mushrooms was sparked observing the diverse wild mushrooms population in the Peak District. A chance encounter with the book ‘The Mushroom Cultivator’ by Paul Stamets in a local library led to a new hobby. Discovering a natural aptitude, in 1999 he visited the world-renowned Fungi Pertecti in the USA to learn advanced laboratory techniques. A year later he set up the first dedicated organic oyster mushroom farm in the UK, which was also the first small-scale mushroom farm to have an integrated spawn laboratory.

Sensing the changes that the ‘local food revolution’ would bring to UK food production, in 2002 Adrian established Gourmet Woodland Mushrooms, whose aim is to supply high quality mushroom spawn to small-scale growers and hobbyists, and advance the knowledge of environmentally and energy conscious mushroom production techniques.
