What are Garden Giant Mushrooms?

The Wine Cap (Stropharia rugosoannulata) is a large, stunning mushroom featuring meaty, burgundy colored caps and crisp, thick white stems. Appropriately nicknamed the Garden Giant, these impressive mushrooms can grow up to a foot in diameter in ideal outdoor conditions! While they are best to harvest and eat when young and tender, the larger mature mushrooms are perfect for barbecuing, grilling, or roasting whole.

When to Plant Wine Cap Mushroom Spawn

The absolute best time to plant your Wine Cap patch outside is during the spring or early fall when outdoor temperatures average between 55 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are not ready to plant right away, you can safely store your spawn block in the refrigerator for up to 90 days before using it.

How to Create an Outdoor Mushroom Bed

Wine Caps are incredibly resilient and thrive in a wide variety of organic mulch materials. They prefer clean hardwood chips, sawdust, and straw, but you can also mix in natural leaf litter and grass clippings from your yard.

Every order includes detailed, step-by-step planting instructions. One bag of our high-quality mushroom spawn can fully inoculate a four foot by four foot garden patch. Once established, a Wine Cap mushroom garden can produce reliable, seasonal crops each spring and summer for up to three years.

Simply add fresh organic mulch or woodchips annually to increase the lifespan of your mushroom patch indefinitely. An established network of living mycelium can even be divided and transplanted to fresh mulch in new areas around your landscaping! For year-round projects, our instruction guide also includes details on how to set up container plantings indoors or on patios.
