Our Story

We are an urban farm based in the heart of beautiful Queenstown in the Wakatipu Basin.

Established in 2021 by local chef Darren Lynch. Whilst working in the kithcen Darren noticed that the mushrooms he was ordering were coming from other regoins of New Zealand. After some research he discovered that there was no local mushroom farmer based in Wakatipu Basin. A green thumb in the garden and his love for horticulture he decided to give mushroom growing a go. He cleared out his spare bedroom popped a small grow tent in there and Remarkable Fungi was born.

In the 3 years that Remarkable Fungi has been operating the business has grown in many ways, It has moved from the small spare bedroom to a new warehouse producing upto a tonne of mushrooms a month. Remarkable Fungi works with local council and businesses to reduce organic waste going to landfill. We collect coffee grinds from local cafes,hotels and resturants take it back to our farm and turn it into mushrooms. All our spwan and susbrate production is done here on our farm as we are firm belivers in keeping it local - Know you farmers!

We offer and array of gourment mushrooms, dried mushrooms, Mushroom grow kits and powders. We wouldnt be where we are today if it wasnt for the support of local businesses and cutomers that purchase our amazing proucts.
