From a Pandemic Challenge to Bicol’s Best Guilt-free Mushroom Chicharon
Kuya B began as a small white oyster mushroom farm in Calabanga, Bicol, supplying fresh harvests to local markets and buyers. Each day’s goal was simple: grow high‑quality mushrooms and get them into customers’ hands while they were still at peak freshness.
When the pandemic hit, lockdowns and transport issues made it harder and riskier to sell everything on time. Unsold mushrooms meant potential waste and financial loss, so the team began experimenting with ways to extend their shelf life without compromising quality.
From those experiments came Kuya B’s Mushroom Chicharon—a crunchy, plant‑based snack that transformed surplus mushrooms and business risk into a new opportunity.
