Mushrooms are having a moment — and New Hampshire is leading the charge. 🍄

At the New Hampshire Mushroom Company LLC in Tamworth, Eric Milligan is growing dozens of varieties and teaching others how to do the same. In Brentwood, William Dunkerley, owner of Dunks Mushroom Products & Foraging LLC is creating mushroom jerky, pot pies, even rye cocktails — and supplying 50+ restaurants across New England.

Both are part of a growing local movement to bring the power (and flavor) of fungi to the forefront.

Want to know how mushrooms are transforming from forest finds to culinary stars?

Jack Farrell and his custom-built Mussel Ridge 46, The Shining Star, are more than just a boat and a captain — they’re the beating heart of the Isles of Shoals. Part freighter, part ferry, part unofficial postmaster, Jack’s Mailboat run is equal parts tradition and adventure.
