About
the boys
Sporeboys has happened so fast, that we really dont remember where
the idea came from, but
since August 2005 weve made thousands of mushroom sandwiches and
provided tons of delicious
wild and cultivated mushrooms to the spore-hungry citizens of Hackney,
east London.
All kinds of people love Sporeboys and our great range of mushrooms
- supermarket-weary locals,
tourists, students, yummy mummies, slummy mummies and random fungi-fans.
Think about this for a moment - if a group of hip, but not too hip,
mycologists and mushroom pickers turned up at your local
market with baskets of tasty fresh picked chanterelles, cepes, trompettes
and Japanese mushrooms, and offered to make you a mushroom sandwich
garnished with pecorino cheese and parsley, youd consider it wouldnt
you?
Weve been so blown away with the warm welcome that weve
received for traceable, locally sourced
mushrooms in Londons urban markets that Sporeboys has now expanded
into other mushroom deprived areas of London, including Kings Road,
Clerkenwell, Alexandra Palace, Richmond, and Marylebone, with more stalls
springing up weekly. Come and see us, and bring as many or as few people
as you can.
