Dirfis Mushrooms was established in 2003 by agronomists and specialists in mycology Lefteris Lachouvaris and Thanassis Mastrogiannis, on a farm near Mt Dirfis, close to Pissonas village, 15 km from Halkida, on the island of Euboea. The facilities include a substrate plant of 15,000m², 20 mushroom growing tunnels of 360m² each, a modern processing facility of 800m², and an olive grove of two acres.
As a vertically-integrated mushroom plant, products range from the substrate needed to grow oyster mushrooms to the final packaged products — including “souvlaki mushrooms,” “baby oysters,” giant oysters (filet), and exotic mushrooms for retail and food service customers.
Dirfis Mushrooms maintains a network of collectors and truffle hunters capable of sourcing wild edible mushrooms — Porcini, Morels, Chanterelle, Black Trumpet, and Caesar’s mushrooms — from different forests of Greece. These wild mushrooms are hand-picked sustainably, collected dry under the Greek sun in a low-humidity microclimate, and thrive under fir, oak, and beech trees alongside wild roses, thyme, and oregano.
At this mushroom gastronomy experience near Mt. Dirfis, Euboea, our mycologist welcomes visitors with an engaging introduction to the biology, ecology, and cultivation of mushrooms, alongside lifelike mushroom replicas and living cultures grown in a natural outdoor environment.
