Fresh mushrooms grown in the Pennsylvania mountains.

Rooted in the Heart of Perry County

Welcome to Little Buffalo Mushroom Company — a small gourmet mushroom farm nestled in the mountains of Newport, Pennsylvania, near the forests and natural beauty of Little Buffalo State Park.

At Little Buffalo Mushroom Company, we specialize in carefully cultivated gourmet mushrooms grown indoors in a controlled environment designed for cleanliness, freshness, and quality. Every mushroom is hand-harvested with attention to detail, allowing us to provide premium varieties known for their exceptional flavor, texture, and culinary versatility.

What started as a passion for fungi, sustainable growing, and self-sufficiency has grown into a dedicated small-batch farm focused on producing fresh, locally grown mushrooms for our community, farmers markets, restaurants, and health-conscious customers.

We proudly grow a rotating selection of gourmet varieties including:

  • Blue Oyster

  • White Elf Oyster

  • Lion’s Mane

  • Shiitake

Each mushroom is cultivated with carefully prepared substrate, filtered air systems, and monitored environmental conditions to ensure healthy growth and consistent quality from incubation to harvest.

Our mission is simple:
to provide fresh, beautiful mushrooms while educating others about the incredible culinary and traditional wellness value gourmet fungi can offer.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to:

  • Small-batch quality

  • Sustainable cultivation practices

  • Fresh local food production

  • Community connection

  • Continuous learning and improvement

Thank you for supporting local agriculture and following our journey as Little Buffalo Mushroom Company continues to grow one harvest at a time.

How We Grow...

At Little Buffalo Mushroom Company, our mushrooms are grown indoors in carefully controlled environments designed to promote clean, healthy, and consistent cultivation year-round.

Each variety is grown using specially prepared substrate blends and monitored environmental conditions that help support strong mycelial growth, proper humidity, fresh air exchange, and ideal fruiting conditions. From incubation to harvest, every stage is handled with attention to detail and small-batch care.

Our cultivation spaces include dedicated laboratory, incubation, and fruiting areas designed to help maintain cleanliness and product quality throughout the growing process. Environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, airflow, and CO₂ levels are continuously monitored to provide ideal growing conditions for each mushroom variety.

Once mature, mushrooms are carefully hand-harvested at peak freshness, allowing us to deliver premium gourmet mushrooms known for their flavor, texture, and quality.

We focus on growing:

  • Fresh

  • Local

  • Small-batch

  • Sustainably cultivated gourmet mushrooms

Every harvest reflects our commitment to quality, consistency, and responsible cultivation practices.
