About

The Chestnut mushroom (Pholiota adiposa), grows in bunches of small to medium sized speckled caps, with a golden chestnut-brown color. They are native to Europe and are commonly associated with beech trees in nature. Along with their cousin Pholiota nameko, they are one of the few edible mushrooms in the Pholiota genus. Since they prefer cooler temperatures, Chestnuts take about 2 weeks to mature for harvest after initial pinning. Chestnuts pair excellently with steaks, but can be used in a wide variety of recipes with their nutty, meaty, and mildly sweet flavor.
