✨Changing one tastebud at a time ✨— that’s the motto at Ellijay Mushrooms. 🍄‍🟫
Co-owner Howard Berk better known as “The mushroom man” believes that if you don’t like mushrooms, you simply haven’t found the right one yet…..
At Ellijay Mushrooms, one of our missions is to challenge the stereotypes mushrooms often receive. As Howie likes to say, it’s the “magic mushroom water” of North Georgia that helps make our mushrooms something truly special.
Whether you’re new to mushrooms or already a fan, our varieties offer a range of unique flavors and textures:

Lions Mane- Tender and meaty with a crab like texture making it a favorite among both mushroom lovers and skeptics.
Blue Oyster– Mild and savory with earthy, umami-rich flavors and a subtle anise-like aroma.
Shiitake – Our most popular variety, prized for its rich, smoky, woodsy flavor and deep umami character.

We’re confident that at least one of these incredible mushrooms will change the way you think about fungi—and maybe even tickle your taste buds in all the right ways.

Even with the rain rolling in this week, it’s finally starting to feel like spring at Ellijay Mushrooms 🌧️🦋
We were lucky enough to spot what looks like a Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly enjoying our marigolds — one of those little reminders that warmer days are on the way. The flowers are waking up, the butterflies are visiting, and our u-pick blooms will be ready soon 💛🌼

This Memorial Day, we want to take a moment to honor and thank Mark for his service as a retired Navy veteran 🇺🇸🐝

Now, get to know the beekeeper behind the bees at Ellijay Mushrooms!
Mark started beekeeping 8 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida after always being fascinated by bees and nature. He decided to attend a local beekeeping meeting, found a mentor, and as he says — “the rest is history.”
A self-proclaimed “nature boy,” Mark loves foraging and being outdoors, which is one of the reasons he connected so strongly with Ellijay Mushrooms. What started as a hobby quickly became something he truly loved… and luckily, a hobby that paid for itself! 🍄🌿🐝
The bees you’ll find at Ellijay Mushrooms are Italian honey bees, known for being hardworking and gentle.
After retiring from the Navy, Mark transitioned into IT work at a credit union and now resides in Blairsville, GA. We’re grateful to have his passion, knowledge, and love for nature as part of the Ellijay Mushrooms family 💛

(Which makes it a no brainer for us to carry these awesome utensils) 🍄‍🟫✨🍄‍🟫✨

Our grow houses are basically a mushroom spa… warm, humid, and full of fungi living their best lives. 😎🧖🏾‍♀️

We hope you look at the mushrooms with as mush admiration as Howie does! — he’s not only our fearless leader but also the mushroom wrangler, fungi whisperer, and the only person we know who gets excited about humidity levels…. Okay maybe we all get excited about that here at the farm 🤭

🕘 Hours of Operation:
Monday–Thursday 12PM – 4PM
Friday-Sunday 11AM – 5PM

Take yourself on a self guided tour of the grow houses, ask questions, and see why our mushrooms are happier than your houseplants. 🍄✨

A special introduction for World Bee day…. Meet the real boss of the farm: the Queen Bee 👑🐝

You can spot our Queen with the small white dot on her head which is used by bee keepers to help identify her… like a non toxic crown. 👑

Fun fact: a queen bee can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day… which honestly makes our mushroom production schedule look lazy. 🍄😂

While she runs the hive, her worker bees are out pollinating plants, supporting biodiversity, and basically keeping nature from falling apart.

So today, on world Bee Day, we’re giving flowers to the tiny queens keeping the world buzzing. 🌼
Protect your pollinators: 🐝 Plant native flowers 🐝 Skip harmful pesticides 🐝 Thank a bee for its unpaid labor

Happy World Bee Day from Ellijay Mushrooms

Wait…….you didn’t know we had bees? 👀🍯 Stay tuned……
