Spring is all about fresh flavors, lighter dishes, and seasonal pairings—and mushrooms are the ultimate ingredient to help chefs create trendy, crave-worthy menu offerings. Here’s how you can maximize their potential this season: 🍄 Get them on the Grill: Portabella caps make for a hearty plant-based burger, while oyster or shiitake mushrooms add umami to grilled skewers and vegetable platters. Tip: Marinate with fresh herbs and citrus for a bright, smoky bite. 🌱 Showcase Spring’s Best Flavors: Mushrooms naturally complement seasonal produce like ramps, leeks, morels, asparagus, and fresh peas. Pair crimini mushrooms with a lemony ricotta pasta or add maitake mushrooms to a wild greens salad for texture and earthiness. 🍜 Lighten Up Classics: Mushrooms bring deep, meaty flavors without the heaviness. Use them to create a spring-forward risotto, a fresh take on ramen, or brothy consommé. Bonus: Blending mushrooms with proteins keeps dishes lighter while still delivering bold flavors. Spring is the season for fresh flavors—bring your menu to life with mushrooms!

Mushrooms continue to be a menu staple! According to Datassential’s MenuTrends and Menucast (year ending March 2024), mushrooms shine brightest in entrées—appearing in over 70% of them. While about one in three menus feature mushroom-based appetizers and sides, it’s clear that chefs favor mushrooms in their main dishes. Mushrooms have reached "ubiquity" in Datassential’s menu adoption cycle, meaning they’re found just about everywhere. Shiitake and portabella are moving into the proliferation stage, gaining traction in chain restaurants and mainstream grocery stores. Meanwhile, specialty varieties like maitake and morel are still in the early stages of growth—but they’re ones to watch! Want more insights on menu trends and merchandising tips?
