For sure the best Mushrooms in Nz, I always make a trip whenever I'm in town to get them fresh from Parkvale. They're also sold in a lot of supermarkets across the lower north from my experience if you aren't in the area. such good flavour and so fresh!

This is a great place to visit if you like mushrooms. They showed us where the mushrooms were growing and it was amazing to see the sheer quantity of mushrooms in one place. You can buy fresh bags of mushrooms and seconds here at a good price and they are so incredibly fresh compared to the supermarket. I would definitely recommend and they're not too far off SH2.
