I had been driving up to Kennett Square to buy mushrooms for two years before I stumbled upon The Woodlands at Phillips. Since finding them I have hardly bought musshrooms at any other place in the Kennett Square area. Why? To start with they have the best selection, and friendliest staff. It's also a dedicated mushroom store, not a small office in a big mushroom growers location. The prices are almost half of what you would pay for most mushrooms in grocery stores, and with more fresh mushrooms than almost any grocery store could carry why go anywhere else. If you don't know how to cook any given mushroom they sell they can give you printed recipes for most types or just tell you how to cook them. They also have cooking demos and cooking classes onsite. Cooking demos are usually just one recipe prepared by a local chef for you to sample and walk away with the recipe. Cooking classes are full blown mushroom lunches with typically three or more mushroom dishes, and the printed recipes for participants too.They also have an amazing assortment of mushroom products like:Maitake Mushroom Green TeaMushroom pastaPickled mushroomsand much more in a cute little restored farmhouse. If you can't drive to their shop you can also shop online. In the winter you can have their fresh mushrooms shipped to you or friends, and family. Year round you can order the dry goods from the shop online. All in all it's the best place this chef has found for fresh mushrooms and other mushroom products anywhere in the world!

What a quaint, warm shop. The owners, a few sisters, greeted us took the time to educate us on the mushroom selection as well as offering some recipes. The selection was great and the freshness unquestionable.

I have been driving up to Kennett to buy mushrooms at the Woodlands at Phillips for the last couple of years, and I can't believe this is my first review of the store. The store itself is adorable, the staff friendly and helpful, and they have just opened a little mushroom museum with a growing room. Be sure to sign up for emails and they will let you know what specialty fresh mushrooms they have coming in. They always carry fresh white button, crimini, portabella, maitake (my fave), shitake, oyster and royal trumpet, and I have seen enoki, beech, and pom pom. These are the freshest, cleanest mushrooms you can buy and they cost much less than at the grocery store, with a wider selection. They also have a wide variety of dried and packaged mushroom products and some very cute gifts. If you are in the area or visiting Longwood Gardens, make the effort to stop by to check it out. You can order place an order online (check the website), call or email an order in for pick-up. You will not be disappointed. Big shout out to Linda who always takes care of me, even though my visits are few and far between. I love this place!

If you are near this place, at Longwood Gardens, for a great example, and if you like mushrooms, do not miss Phillips. Gracious service, fresh mushrooms, as well as dried mushrooms, mushroom salad in a jar, mushroom seasonings, mushroom pasta and decorative pieces with mushroom art. Family business and even a mushroom museum.

After visiting this area many times and knowing it is the mushroom capital of the world my husband and I finally stopped to buy mushrooms. The Woodlands at Phillips employees were very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our experience there and learned the mushroom farm history of the area.

I have gone here several times for their cooking classes and I could not recommend them highly enough!! The food has always been outstanding, the menu choices are unique and I have reproduced the menu at home several times. The ladies in the store are so friendly and kind and their products are great!!

We stopped in to learn more about mushrooms. they have a very informational dvd that they will play for you if you ask. Their selection of fresh mushrooms was more than I have seen in the area. We left with several jars of marinated mushrooms opting not to buy the fresh ones since we we traveling.

The Woodlands is one of those places I pass frequently but never seem to have time to stop and browse. A couple months ago a friend and I took off in the middle of the day to participate in one of their cooking lessons. They are scheduled fall through spring, on weekdays, from 11 to 1. Each is conducted by a local chef in a kitchen designed to accommodate 8-10 students around an island overlooking the stove and oven.The format is an hour in the kitchen, observing and asking questions, and then an hour around a nicely set table in the dining room to eat the meal the chef has prepared. (Actually, the chef continues to cook while you're eating, so you don't get to see everything cooked. And the items -- four in our case -- come out one by one but not necessarily in the order they'd arrive if you had ordered at a restaurant.) One couple at the table had clearly attended before -- they were wise enough to bring their own bottle of wine to accompany the meal. The rest of us made do with iced tea or water.You take away a nice folder with all the recipes and hints. There's also a discount in the store for anything you purchase that day -- and there are lots of tempting foodstuffs, both fresh and preserved, plus lots of fun kitchen items with a mushroom theme.We had such a good time we promised ourselves we'd return for another class in the fall.
