Wildbite was founded by Joseph, after briefly appearing on BBC’s Masterchef in 2023 where he prepared a Porcini & Chanterelle Ragu. The show served as the inspiration to venture into the world of wild mushrooms, and Wildbite was founded with the mission to make wild harvested delicious mushrooms available across the UK.
We quickly discovered that the UK markets lacks high quality foraged mushrooms, and brands treat these treasures of the wild as a second class citizen.
We believe that people should be able to add wild mushrooms to their everyday diets, supporting regenerative and sustainable sourcing methods, while not compromising on the quality or the nutritional value of their dishes.
Learning from the European mushrooms and foraging culture, where Porcini, Chanterelle and other wild mushrooms are widely available, we felt that wild mushrooms should have space in UK plates too!
Our mission is deeply rooted in sustainability and believing that people should be able to chose and eat food that nature has provided – our goal is to help people Eat Wild!
Neatly packaged in an eye catching pouch that looks great in storefronts. Our mushrooms can make shops’ product offering a little more special, with over 50 farm shops/deli and garden centres already showing repeated purchases, we are sure the end customers will love this special new addition to any store range!

Target market
Looking at 3 main targets for all we can provide marketing material and literature if needed + store display material.
Farm shops and Deli’s: Our best target audience with more than 90% conversion rate from in-person meetings. 100% repurchase rate so far although timeframe varies depending on size of the shop. Our products looks fabulous in their stores and add to the “premium feeling”.
Garden centres: More research is required for this target market as it is only suitable for garden centres with a small caffe or goods shop. 100% repurchase rate so far with this category as well.
Butchers: Butchers are also a potential target, mushrooms goes very well with meat stews and as a meat accompaniment, although conversion rate is lower as is generally more difficult to speak to the correct person.
