Risotto with Lions Mane Mushrooms and Beets

This traditional Italian dish is outside the box and delicious!

The Lions mane taste great in the risotto and just adds to the creaminess of the dish.

Funky Funghi is a Niagara-based mushroom farm in Pelham, Ontario, dedicated to growing a wide variety of fresh organic mushrooms. The farm is a natural extension of the Pasto brothers' passions: Anthony, a beekeeper and founder of Happy Bees Apiary, and Michael, a career chef with experience in Niagara and abroad. Their venture into gourmet mushroom cultivation began in 2020, blending their love for local food and small-scale farming with a nod to their Italian heritage, reflected in the name "Funky Funghi."
