Mercer Mushrooms: Premium New Zealand-Grown Mushrooms for Professional Kitchens

Why Mercer Mushrooms Stand Out

Mercer Mushrooms are grown using state-of-the-art Dutch technology in a fully circular facility, allowing for 52-week production of high-quality mushrooms. Their commitment to sustainability and innovation ensures every mushroom is:

  • Fresh and flavourful
  • Consistently sized and textured
  • Grown locally with minimal environmental impact

From the versatile white button to the robust portobello and nutty Swiss brown, Mercer’s range offers something for every culinary style.

A Chef’s Perspective

Top chefs across New Zealand rely on Mercer Mushrooms for their:

  • Reliable quality – “They hold their texture and flavour even under high heat.”
  • Versatility – “We use them in everything from risottos to ramen.”
  • Sustainability – “Our diners care about where their food comes from—Mercer ticks all the boxes."

Culinary Applications

Mercer Mushrooms are ideal for:

  • Sautéed sides and garnishes
  • Stuffed mains and vegetarian centrepieces
  • Soups, sauces, and broths
  • Asian-inspired dishes like ramen and stir-fries
  • European classics like risotto, pasta, and pies

Their meaty texture and umami-rich flavour make them a favourite in both plant-based and meat-forward menus.

Nutritional Benefits for Health-Conscious Diners

Mercer Mushrooms are packed with:

  • Ergothioneine – a powerful antioxidant
  • Selenium, potassium, and copper
  • B-vitamins and dietary fibre

These nutrients support immune healthenergy levels, and heart function, making Mercer Mushrooms a smart choice for wellness-focused menus
