  Due to my extensive background in agriculture and engineering, I have combined my passion and love for both and launched Windy City Mushroom, home to Chicago’s premium gourmet mushrooms. Located in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, we deliver you our freshest and most excellent gourmet mushrooms. Sustainable, local, organic, and delicious. Mushrooms are one of the healthiest and tastiest foods on the planet, but at Windy City Mushroom, we want to elevate them to the next level. You won’t recognize our beautiful and exotic mushrooms next to your standard tasteless white button mushroom. We will change your perception, and you’ll never go back!
