Yesterday we were on dutch television! It was broadcasted on the dutch tv show 'RLT Boulevard' at 6:35 pm.

Mushroom Matter was invited a few weeks ago to a TV show to talk more about mushrooms, how they grow, how they contribute to health and innovation, and the industry.

A very good and interesting opportunity to inspire and motivate consumers to eat more mushrooms. We were supported by Ecovative Spawn and Substrates in this interview. The interview took place at the mushroom farm Geurts in Milheeze.

After recognising a gap in consumers’ knowledge, the Costa Group looked to its packaging to help educate people on ways to use and how to cook mushrooms. Kim Berry looks at what’s in the box. This article was first published in Food & Drink Business May 2021.

Costa marketing and innovation manager – mushroom category Elisa Siliato says there are five types of mushroom buyers and only one of those loves them and buys them every week.

“There are those who don’t use them unless a recipe calls for them, people who don’t really know what to do with them or don’t know the difference between varieties, and then those who know they are good for you but don’t know why. We knew we had to educate people,” Siliato says. The result was Mush-Boom, a consumer-facing advocacy brand using packaging as the main player. “We gave mushrooms a voice, personality, vibrancy and appeal,” she says.

On the packaging is the variety’s name, Costa’s quirky descriptive name, and the best occasion to use that mushroom type.
