Fresh Porcini Mushrooms

This product is not currently available.

Popularly known as the "king of mushrooms," porcinis have a meaty texture and nutty flavor cooks love. (We're obsessed with their deep, mysterious flavor and intoxicating aroma.) Mikuni's eco-conscious foragers pluck these from high elevations in the mountains of California, Oregon and British Columbia, then deliver them to top chefs like Mario Batali, whose signature mushroom carpaccio is made exclusively from Mikuni's porcinis. Although Mikuni normally saves to these rare, coveted funghi for chefs, we convinced them to share a limited supply with Gilt Taste.

Because these mushrooms are foraged to order, availability may change and the price may fluctuate.

Here's what you get:

  • One 1lb basket of fresh porcini mushrooms

Co-founder Tyler Gray began his foraging career as a child while gathering brambleberries (and escaping bears) in the forests of British Columbia. Throughout his many early adventures—which include diamond mining and driftwood scavenging—his passion for food foraging never waned. He's now the trusted forager for the country's top chefs.

Why We Love It

The fusion of two Japanese words, “Mikuni”, translates to “Beautiful Forest.” It is an apt nod to the natural environment from which the company meticulously sources its products. Over the last decade, Mikuni has become a leading supplier of foods found in the wild, and these porcini mushrooms represent their best bounty. Simply sliced and sautéed in butter, the meaty mushroom reveals roasted hazelnut and chestnut flavors. From fresh linguine to roast chicken, these versatile mushrooms will make any meal an occasion, especially when paired with a robust red or rich white wine.
