King Stropharia Garden Giant Spawn

Stropharia rugoso-annulata

Also know as the ‘Wine Cap’. As the name implies this mushroom can get large (up to 5lbs), but these beautiful, wine-red mushrooms are far tastier when picked at the button stage. It is a very easy mushroom for the home cultivator and can be readily grown in your berry, vegetable and flowers beds. Once introduced to your garden, this species will often become truly perennial, appearing year after year. King Stropharia is very heat and cold tolerant and can be grown in most parts of the country.

Just mix FRESH hardwood chips or sawdust with our King Stropharia spawn, mulch around your garden with the spawned chips and keep moist. In 6 to 12 months the mushrooms will begin to appear, and in many parts of the country will continue fruiting from spring through fall.  If hardwood chips or sawdust are not available, un-composted straw will also work; in Germany they grown them right on straw bales. One 5lb bag of spawn should inoculate a wheelbarrow full of chips.
