The Humungus Fungus Project was established in 1999, with the aim of creating mushroom growing systems based on small-scale models developed by the Japanese. The company has since developed a network of mushroom growers throughout the UK who are all focussed on selling their mushrooms into local markets. |
Speaking from "The Mushroom Factory" in the Brecon Beacons, Richard Edwards, a senior partner at the company said, "If we made football boots then we would want Zinadene Zidane to wear them, and if we made guitars then our preference would be to lay the wood under the twinkling fingers of Martin Carthy or Richard Thompson: so, as mushroom growers, if we could get one person in the world to cook our mushrooms then we would choose Monsieur Raymond Blanc."
Commenting further Richard said, "This project will be the first of its kind in the UK and by developing systems for Le Manoir which will produce more than 20 species of gourmet mushroom it will set standards that are appropriate for one of the finest hotels in the world. | |
