Mushroom without the mush!

If you love the earthy flavour of mushrooms but don’t like the texture, then Mushroom Plant (Rungia klossii) is the herb for you!

Maybe you simply love the mushroom taste? Layer the flavour up by adding this herb to all your favourite food.

Grow it in your garden through the warmer months and enjoy its delicious and unexpected mushroom flavour. Producing thick and glossy dark green leaves which are crispy in texture and similar to spinach, it’s perfect for introducing the taste of mushroom to your sandwiches and will take salads to another dimension – a mushroom salad starter is the perfect way to begin a meal.

With the addition of showy little blue flowers in late summer, it’s a lovely additional to the herb garden or a feature herb in a pot for adding interest to a shady spot.

The herb disguised as a houseplant!

Come the cooler months, over winter this plant indoors and this herb will disguise itself perfectly as an edible houseplant!

Looking great in any room, it’s especially handy within arm’s reach in the kitchen, as you can continue to add the leaves to all those favourite hot meals!

Adding deliciousness to whatever you choose to cook, you can savour the flavour as it intensifies when added at the last minute to any hot dish.

This mint is here to stay – it won’ t run away!
