The details
Also known as the "Garden Giant," Wine Cap
(Stropharia rugoso-annulata)
is a delicious mushroom with a mild, earthy flavor reminiscent of artichokes and potatoes. It's an ideal mushroom for beginners as it colonizes quickly and yields reliable flushes.
Wine Cap can fruit in as little as two months and will produce in the same bed for several years. Fresh woody material (like straw or hardwood chips) can be added each year to maintain the health of the bed. Inoculated material from one bed can also be used as spawn to inoculate new beds!
Recommended use:
Wine cap sawdust spawn is only recommended for use in
outdoor beds
.
Wine cap sawdust spawn must be combined with a substrate (like wood chips) in order to fruit.
Please note: Wine cap does not grow on logs.
Upon receiving your spawn:
Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!
