Oyster Mushroom Jerky – Umami-Packed Plant-Based Snack
Our Oyster Mushroom Jerky is handcrafted from fresh oyster mushrooms grown right here in Australia. Using a rich, savoury marinade and a slow air-drying process, we create a chewy, flavour-packed snack that appeals to anyone looking for bold, satisfying bites—no fake meat, no filler, no fluff.
Each 40g resealable pouch is loaded with real mushrooms and real flavour. We slice whole fresh oyster mushrooms, soak them in a house-made marinade, and dry them low and slow for the ideal meaty texture. The result is a dense, savoury chew that’s unlike anything you’ll find on supermarket shelves.
This is not a novelty item pretending to be beef. It’s a standalone snack that delivers on flavour and texture without compromise.
The Ingredients That Make It Sing
We don’t use artificial flavour in our enhancers or unnecessary fillers. Everything you taste comes from quality, real ingredients in every small batch:
-
Fresh oyster mushrooms – prized for their naturally rich, umami depth
-
Soy, hoisin and Thai satay sauces – bring salty, sweet, and spicy elements into balance
-
Sticky chilli and ginger – adding a warm, fragrant heat
-
Sesame and hemp seeds – offering crunch and a subtle nutty finish
-
Maple syrup – a light touch to round it all out
-
Water – no hidden additives
-
Contains traces of peanuts and wheat
This marinade is layered and complex, hitting you with savoury depth, gentle sweetness, and lingering heat. The mushrooms carry those flavours right through each chew.
Why Oyster Mushrooms?
Oyster mushrooms bring more than just great texture to the table. Their naturally mild yet meaty flavour makes them the perfect base for bold marinades. Unlike tougher mushrooms that can overpower a blend, oysters soak up spices and sauces beautifully, creating layers of taste with every bite. When dried, their fibrous structure gives the jerky its distinctive tear and chew—firm but never rubbery. They also hold their shape well during dehydration, so you get full strips of mushroom in every pouch. This isn’t mushroom dust or flakes. It’s whole, hand-cut pieces, giving you a proper bite-sized snack worth savouring.
Small Batch, Big Flavour
Our Oyster Mushroom Jerky is made in small batches, not churned out by machines or diluted with soy protein. You get strips of actual oyster mushroom, marinated and dried to the perfect texture: chewy, meaty, and full of bite.
Each batch is prepared and packed by hand. That gives us more control over quality, consistency, and freshness—and lets us adjust as needed based on seasonal variation in mushrooms.
The final result? A snack that doesn’t pretend to be something else. It’s real food with real character.
Who Is It For?
People at farmers markets tell us the same thing every week: “I’ve never had anything like this.” And that’s the goal. This is for eaters who want more than another bland, mass-produced snack.
Perfect for hikers, long drives, picnics, lunchboxes, or quick desk-side snacking. It travels well, keeps without refrigeration, and doesn’t lose texture or flavour.
Our customers include adventurers, chefs, students, shift workers, tradies, and anyone with a taste for strong flavours and real food.
