Explore Our Cultivations & Share a Lunch at Dirfis Mushrooms Park

Dirfis Mushrooms was established in 2003 by agronomists and specialists in mycology Lefteris Lachouvaris and Thanassis Mastrogiannis, on a farm located 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 final packaged products — including “souvlaki mushrooms,” “baby oysters,” and giant oysters (filet) — for both retail and food service customers.

Dirfis Mushrooms also has a well-organized network of collectors and truffle hunters, with the capacity to collect wild edible mushrooms such as Porcini, Morels, Chanterelle, Black Trumpet, and Caesar’s mushrooms from different forests of Greece. Dirfis mushrooms thrive under fir, oak, and beech trees alongside wild roses, thyme, oregano, and a plethora of wild herbs.
