A four-generation Kennett Square mushroom business, Phillips Gourmet develops and produces proprietary mushroom formulations for restaurant operators, retailers, and food manufacturers. The company has cultivated mushrooms since 1927 and processes much of its crop within three days of harvest, drawing on Phillips Mushroom Farms’ year-round production and more than 70 million pounds shipped annually. Its value-added line includes recipe-ready sautéed and fire-roasted mushrooms, dried ingredients, custom packs, and Lion’s Mane coffee.

• Mushroom SquaredBuilt on four decades of supplying gourmet mushrooms to New York City restaurants, Mushroom Squared makes frozen plant-based patties centered on whole maitake mushrooms. The company brings that restaurant-focused sourcing standard to home kitchens with patties that cook straight from frozen and use recognizable ingredients rather than methylcellulose or mystery powders. Its parent company, Mushrooms and More, has served more than 100 New York City restaurants since 1983, while Mushroom Squared develops functional variations such as its Lion’s Mane-infused Cognitive Harmony patty.GEORGETOWN, NY
