Mushroom Wood was the wood of choice for three (3) of our commercial projects, all restaurants, and all using different applications. Mushroom Wood has also been used in more formal settings as in the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City.

Mushroom Wood is a term coined by Dale Mitchell from wood that is primarily a mixture of Cypress and small quantities of Hemlock, both of which have similar appearances and characteristics. It derives its name from mushroom farms in western New York state and Pennsylvania. The wood is used as shelving for mushroom beds. As the mushrooms are growing, they produce an enzyme that eats away the soft portion of the wood, leaving the material as if it had naturally weathered. (For more details on Mushroom Wood, please go to Products on the Home page and move down to Mushroom wood.)

Because we maintain at any given time 30,000 to 50,000 BF of inventory of Mushroom Wood and barn siding, we can accommodate large commercial projects as well as small ones.

Wine cellars are another frequent application of Mushroom Wood for both commercial and residential use.
