🍄 THE mushroom shop: Somerville’s Fungi Obsession

🍄 THE mushroom shop: Somerville’s Fungi Obsession—A Magical Little World Nestled at 433 Medford St, this place is exactly what it sounds like: a shrine to all things mushrooms. Fresh fungi 🍄, dried varieties, mushroom-themed books, quirky decor—walking in feels like stepping into a tiny, charming exhibition. 🧑🍳 The Story Behind It The owner? A total mushroom fanatic. What started as a hobby (foraging!) turned into a full-blown passion project. He supplies restaurants, sells to locals, and built this shop out of pure love. How cool is that? 🥰 Bonus surprise: He’s also obsessed with tea! Spotted aged citrus pu’er and Lapsang Souchong here—who knew? 🍵 ✨ Why It’s Special Small businesses > big chains, and this one proves why. The decor? Eclectic and personal. The picks? Curated with care (even if some prices make you wince 😅). I lingered for 20+ minutes, leaving with fresh mushrooms, a hand-drawn mushroom print, and a tiny fungi keychain. It’s the kind of place that fills you with good vibes—like, “people are out here chasing joy” energy ✨. 🍴 Somerville Day Trip Detours Celeste: Nearby Peruvian spot—so good, highly recommend. Bloc Cafe: Help! What am I doing wrong? The two things I ordered were… rough. Any go-to orders? ☕ Bow Market: So many options, my brain short-circuited. Any must-try spots there? If you’re into weird, wonderful, passion-driven shops, this one’s a no-brainer. It’s more than a store—it’s a love letter to mushrooms (and living your best, fungi-filled life). #SomervilleFinds #MushroomLovers #SmallBizMagic
