TV Celeb and Chef Mark Moriarty was promoting the taste of Monaghan Mushrooms in a recent media blurb. While at the company HQ in Tyholland Mark discovered the old Irish name for mushrooms is ‘ fás aon’ meaning the growth of one night.
“They really do grow that fast. A food that goes from spore to on the shelf in 24-48 hours is an amazing thing.
You’ll be looking at a piece of soil in Tyholland and within 12 hours there will be fully -fledged mushrooms grown and the next day they’ll be on the shelf in a M&S store.” Magic.
