About Us
The founders of Sunny Shrooms, Jamie & James, have been running Love Shack, a popular, fully vegan restaurant in London, for 6 years.
The space is a huge advocate of all things fungi, and the pair of them are keen naturalists, environmentalists and explorers of all kinds.
Mushrooms have held a prominent place on the menu since opening and have featured in everything from hot drinks and risottos to cocktails.
We converted an old shipping container in Hackney Wick into a small mushroom farm, which now supplies the restaurant with Lion's Mane, Oyster and Reishi mushrooms.
Our passion for experimenting, coupled with a great desire to provide farm-to-table produce, has led us down the fascinating and often frustrating rabbit hole of mycology. When we're not tending to our own mushrooms, come autumn we're out in the woods getting excited about everything we find and can sustainably harvest.
Sunny is Jamie's (very young) son, hence the name. He may be small, but this little ball of energy has already been on plenty of foraging trips and adventures, and we hope he grows up with an intense love of nature and a passion to protect it. We felt the name nicely summed up our approach, and we hope he doesn't mind us borrowing it.
Thanks for checking us out. Mush love, Jamie, James & Sunny.
Our Grow Space
A m*lkmans fridge turned into our very own grow space.
As we learnt, often the hard way, mycology can be a minefield fraught with misadventure and mishaps.
Maintaining a high humidity environment all whilst ensuring sufficient airflow to keep Co2 levels low, while at the same time fighting against the overwhelmingly unpredictable British weather to maintain a consistent temperature are just some of the issues we've had to master.
Still, here we are with some deliciously fresh Lion's Mane for the restaurant and some incredibly good quality tinctures we've made with what's left.
