Recipes & Inspiration
Good mushrooms don't need complicated recipes.
We're building our own recipe collection as we grow. In the meantime, we've gathered a few recipes from cooks and chefs who know how to make specialty mushrooms shine.
Start with something delicious.
These are recipes we think are especially worth trying with Cloud City mushrooms. The recipes live on their original authors' sites; we've included short descriptions and links rather than republishing their work.
Lion's Mane
Meaty, tender, and subtly savory, Lion's Mane is especially good when you let its texture do the talking.
Lion's Mane Steak
A thick-cut preparation that compresses and sears Lion's Mane until the outside is deeply browned and the center stays meaty.

Italian Oyster
Italian oysters are meaty, aromatic, and excellent at taking on browning, herbs, garlic, wine, and other bold flavors.

A Cloud City Principle
Start with extraordinary mushrooms. The rest is easy.
We're especially interested in recipes that let the natural flavor and texture of the mushroom come through. As we develop and photograph our own recipes, this page will become a collection of Cloud City originals.
