For the enoki, like S.J said; see Ed at For the Health of It in B.M.B. He might be able to help you source the kelp as well. If that it a no go, try an asian market in P.C or F.W.B. Maybe Fresh Market in Destin??

Fresh Market in Destin will have the Enoki mushrooms. If they don't have the kelp, they can probably order it for you.

...and, you can always substitute.

For Asian specialty markets, there's a surprisingly big Asian population in FWB (lots of military brides) I can think of of Asian food stores on Racetrack Rd., Beal Pkwy, just off Mary Esther Cutoff (it's the same turn off as Bob's Bikes) and I think Lewis Turner.

I think the Thai place on Racetrack is the biggest of them.

The mushrooms or the kelp, and with what? I could do dried seaweed instead of kelp I guess, but are enoki nutty or woody mushrooms and what is a comparable substitute?

The Asian grocery on Racetrack in FWB has EVERYTHING.

For the health of it is your best local source for the kelp... and the enoki are sold all over the place including publix. (When in season)The Thai market in FWB is cool, but their fresh produce is well... lacking at best and down right stinky sometimes.
