NEBRODINI BIANCO “WHITE ELVES” MUSHROOM FOR CHEFS AND RESTAURANTS
A Rare Italian Mushroom, Carefully Cultivated Through Sustainable Innovation
Once found only in the remote mountain regions of Sicily, Nebrodini Bianco (Pleurotus nebrodensis), known to chefs as White Elves, is one of the rarest and most expressive mushrooms in the culinary world. Through years of research, precision growing, and sustainable small-batch cultivation, Stoney Creek Mushrooms is proud to offer this extraordinary mushroom to chefs and culinary innovators seeking something truly exceptional.
Nebrodini Bianco is prized for its rich, meaty texture and buttery, sweet, nutty flavour, delivering a depth and elegance rarely found in cultivated mushrooms. Grown in extremely limited harvests, each batch reflects careful stewardship, freshness, and uncompromising quality.
Reviving a Rare Culinary Icon
Once critically rare in the wild and nearly impossible to source, Nebrodini Bianco is a mushroom with a remarkable story, one shaped by ecology, craftsmanship, and revival. This elusive species earned near-mythical status among chefs and foragers alike.
As wild populations declined, the opportunity to experience Nebrodini Bianco nearly disappeared. At Stoney Creek Mushrooms, we committed to preserving its legacy through modern cultivation methods and sustainable growing practices, carefully bringing this rare mushroom back to life for today’s culinary world.
We are proud to be one of the only farms in the country producing Nebrodini Bianco with consistent quality, offering chefs ultra-fresh, hand-harvested batches grown in limited quantities.

WHY CHOOSE STONEY CREEK’S FRESHLY CULTIVATED NEBRODINI BIANCO?
Small-batch, sustainable, precise: Our Cultivation Philosophy: Precision Over Volume
At Stoney Creek Mushrooms, Nebrodini Bianco is treated as a true culinary treasure, a mushroom that demands patience, precision, and respect. Each crop is grown with careful attention to detail, allowing the mushroom’s unique character to fully develop.
Every batch is:
- Grown in controlled micro-lots to ensure consistency and integrity
- Harvested entirely by hand at peak maturity for optimal texture
- Handled minimally to preserve structure, aroma, and freshness
- Delivered fresh to chefs at peak flavour, never rushed or over-processed
Our small-batch approach prioritizes quality over volume, allowing us to cultivate mushrooms that genuinely elevate modern cuisine.
Exceptionally fresh: Limited by Nature, Delivered at Peak Freshness
Nebrodini Bianco is not a mushroom that can be mass-produced. Its delicate biology and slow-growing nature require thoughtful cultivation and precise harvest timing.
This means:
- Extremely limited availability with each growing cycle
- Pre-booking encouraged for seasonal and tasting menus
- Priority access for ongoing chef partners
- Shipped fresh only, never frozen, dehydrated, or stored
Once a harvest is complete, the next batch is only available when the mushroom is ready.
