The Phillips family has been growing mushrooms since the late 1920s.  Jim Angelucci grew up in Kennett Square area and took a position there in 1973. In 2010, Jim represented the American Mushroom Industry before a subcommittee on Horticulture and Organic Agriculture. The mushroom farm community was particularly proud of their food safety record and their Mushroom Good Agricultural Practices Program.  We were very impressed by their high quality production techniques and concern with offering consumers the very best mushrooms.  Jim has been often quoted and mentioned in many books regarding the mushroom industry as an expert in this field.

We were delighted when Jim Angelucci offered to guide us around The Woodlands to see the mushrooms in action, visit a living mushroom exhibit, watch a video, and even stop by the Woodlands retail store, filled with Phillips mushrooms, gourmet food items and gifts.

While we were there, Jim introduced us to the Phillip’s family, who made us feel just like family. They took us on a Woodland store tour, letting us experience their family’s experiences with mushrooms. Each twist and turn in the house/store offered a unique and personal peek into their lives. We can’t thank Jim Angelucci and Phillip’s family enough for the five star experiences that they offer to every visitor.

Their online store is one of the places where you can order those “hard to find” mushrooms.Their Pom Pom mushrooms are fantastic.
