Wainui Valley Mushrooms is a mushroom grower at 911 Weranui Road in Wainui, Rodney, and it sells fresh gourmet mushrooms, home grow kits and NZ Lion's Mane. The site describes the mushrooms as naturally grown and sustainable. Fresh varieties listed include blue oyster, black king oyster and phoenix oyster. The NZ Lion's Mane is made from locally grown Pekepeke-kiore and sold as powder and capsules. The range also includes dried mushroom mixes, dried horopito and kawakawa leaves, and gift vouchers.
Home grow kits include Blue Oyster, Black King Oyster and Italian Oyster. The site says the Italian Oyster takes about 15 days to its first harvest and produces three to four flushes. A 100-gram packet of dried mixed mushrooms rehydrates to 350 to 400 grams and keeps for up to six months. Free shipping applies to NZ orders over $75 (as at 2026). We hear the NZ Lion's Mane sells out quickly, so the site asks customers to check back or pre-order.
