Hailing from Stoke-on-Trent, Mushroom Beard are a Psychedelic Stoner Doom trio forging colossal riffs from Fuzz, groove, and Cosmic haze. Formed by three members of Quiet The Thief, the band marks a deliberate shift into heavier territory — slower, thicker, and unapologetically immersive.
Blending crushing doom with swirling Psychedelic textures, Mushroom Beard create a dense sound built on down tuned guitars, thunderous low-end, and hypnotic rhythms. Their music draws listeners into a tripped-out atmosphere where melody and distortion collide.
In 2026, Mushroom Beard bring their fuzz-fuelled ritual to stages including Idlefest (Bradford) and Smoke on Trent VI, while preparing to unleash their self-titled debut album.

— About Mushroom Beard —
Mushroom Beard was born from a desire to explore heavier, slower, and more immersive sounds. The self-titled debut concept album is rooted in colossal riffs, Psychedelic atmospheres, and a fascination with mythology, nature, transformation, and escapism.
Across six tracks, the band weave stories of ancient beings, cosmic journeys, woodland spirits, and strange encounters. The album balances crushing heaviness with moments of reflection and wonder, creating a listening experience that feels both primal and otherworldly.
The record also features a special guest appearance from Dan Flitcroft (Sergeant Thunderhoof), whose vocal performance, vocal melody and arrangement on “Speech Of Leaf And Beard” adds another dimension to the album’s woodland mysticism.
At its heart, “Mushroom Beard” is an invitation to get lost in the groove and emerge somewhere unexpected.
