The Fungalist is our seasonal burger — king oyster mushrooms (kraljevi ostrigar) pulled in marinade, our homemade Tavči s!r, onions caramelized and fried, grated cabbage and carrot in the bun, plus the free side every burger gets. The menu prints “ni vedno na voljo” — “not always available” — next to it, because it returns when the mushroom base is right, and that honest “sometimes” is exactly why people ask for it by name. The full printed menu (21.7.2026) with every price sits at the bar and our Lake Bled guide carries the complete price list — the Fungalist’s argument stays the mushroom and the free side. Call +386 69 926 772 +386 69 926 772 and we’ll tell you whether it’s on this week. We run 11:00–20:00 Monday to Sunday, closed Tuesdays, and the kitchen closes at 19:30.
What exactly is in the Fungalist?
From the menu, word for word: “natrgan kraljevi ostrigar v marinadi, Tavči s!r (domač), karamelizirana in ocvrta čebula, naribano zelje in korenje, burger omaka — v bombetki, ki je na voljo tudi GF (GFO).” In English: king oyster mushroom, pulled and in marinade; Tavči s!r (homemade); onions, caramelized and fried; grated cabbage and carrot; burger sauce — in a bun that is also available gluten-free (GFO), served with the free side every burger gets. Tomatoes join only when they’re in season, by the menu’s own rule.
The point is structure: it’s a mushroom dish that holds its own shape, not a substitute patty — it eats like a burger, not like a “mushroom mass”. And if dessert is planned, a cake slice afterwards costs 6.30 €.
“Ko ga je, ga je” — when is it most likely on?
“When it’s there, it’s there.” The widest window is autumn — the late-summer and autumn chanterelle and porcini wave; spring is the second one, when the Fungalist returns tied to wild-garlic season. October 2026 alone brought 108 Fungalist burgers through the till. But we never announce fixed dates, because the mushrooms decide, not the planogram.
Why king oyster mushrooms (and not button mushrooms)?
Structure again. King oyster mushrooms cut thick hold their shape in the pan and release their water slowly, so the burger stays a burger instead of collapsing. That’s exactly what a seasonal, “not always available” dish has to deliver every single time it’s on.
How “it’s there, then it’s not” works for you as a guest
Three steps — read the board, phone ahead, and if it’s not there, order a proper meal anyway. Five other burgers wait, each with a free side, so a missing Fungalist is a change of plan, not a failed dinner; our Lake Bled vegan guide lists all of them with current prices.
- Read the menu: next to the Fungalist it says “ni vedno na voljo” — that’s information, not advertising.
- Call ahead for the week: +386 69 926 772 — we’ll tell you whether it’s on; for delivery, Wolt covers the Bled–Lesce zone and switches off with the kitchen at 19:30.
- If it’s not on that day: five burgers remain, every one with a free side — a proper meal, not a compromise.
FAQ — quick answers
What is the Fungalist?
Our seasonal mushroom burger built on king oyster mushrooms — pulled in marinade, with our homemade Tavči s!r, caramelized and fried onions, and grated cabbage and carrot in the bun.
Is it available all year?
No — the menu says “ni vedno na voljo”. Autumn, when mushrooms are most abundant, is its most frequent window; spring’s wild-garlic season is the second one. In October 2026 alone we sold it 108 times.
Is there a gluten-free option?
Yes (GFO) — the bun is also available in a gluten-free version. It’s prepared without gluten-containing grains, and because everything we serve may contain traces, the allergen labels live on the menu.
How much does it cost?
We don’t publish burger prices — the side that comes with each burger is on the house, and the exact price list lives on the menu: at the bar, on our website, or by phone on +386 69 926 772.
