JOining the Mushroom Share FAQs

Similar to a CSA box, you'll receive a bag of mushrooms for each week of delivery. The mushroom share runs for 10 total weeks on a bi-weekly basis (you receive a bag of mushrooms every other week) from June to October. Your exact schedule of days for pickup will be shared with you before the mushroom share begins. You will choose the local dropsite that works best for you to pick up your mushrooms from. Pickup days will be WEDNESDAYS from your chosen dropsite. Our primary method of communication with members is email. When signing up, please use an email address that you will check regularly throughout the season.

Oyster and shiitake mushrooms are the most reliable mushrooms we grow, so these will make up the bulk of the share. They are delicious and versatile mushrooms! We also grow several varieties of oysters for a pop of color--you may see pink or gold oysters in the share once the weather gets hot. We'll also include specialty seasonal mushrooms in the share whenever the weather and season allow. Mushrooms like Lions Mane, Chestnut, Winecap, and  Nameko grow on logs or woodchips on the farm, but they only fruit naturally and seasonally. If we get the right conditions for a great harvest, we'll be sure to include these beautiful mushrooms in the share. You can expect to receive at least a half lb of mushrooms and not more than 1lb of mushrooms for each week of delivery, depending on the type of mushroom included.

This year we have 3 dropsites available:

Red Door Family Farm Summer CSA Members--your Mushroom share is an add-on to your existing Red Door CSA membership. You'll be able to pick up your mushrooms at the SAME dropsite that you already chose for your summer CSA box. The mushrooms will be delivered on the same day as your CSA box.

Athens/Rue de Bungaloo Farm: you can choose this option if you live in the Athens area and  want to pick up your mushrooms from us directly on our farm at 119329 Frank Rd. Athens, WI 54411

Medford/Marilyn's Restaurant: You can choose this option if you live in the Medford area and want to pick up your mushrooms from Marilyn's, a restaurant in downtown Medford, during their open hours from 11-7:30pm. 

This year instead of offering outright mushroom shares through Cattail Organic's CSA, we are giving folks the option to order mushrooms on a weekly basis (subject to availability) through Cattail Organics' online store. Through their online store, you can place weekly orders whether you are a CSA member or not (as long as you live within their delivery range). Instead of signing up for a mushroom share, simply visit Cattail Organics' online store throughout the season to see what products are available.  If you have a CSA share, you can  add-on a bag of mushrooms to your weekly box using this method. We will be offering seasonal mushrooms and fruit, so be sure to check it out! 

The 10 week mushroom share costs $125 in 2025.
