The Wine Cap (Stropharia rugoso annulata) is a large, beautiful mushroom with meaty, burgundy-colored caps and crisp, thick white stems. Also called the "Garden Giant", these impressive mushrooms can grow to be up to a foot in diameter! Although they are best to eat when young and tender, larger mushrooms are perfect for barbecuing or roasting whole!

Wine Caps will grow in a wide variety of organic mulch materials: They prefer hardwood chips, sawdust and straw but you can also mix in leaf litter and grass clippings.

 Detailed instructions are included with your spawn bag. One bag can inoculate a 4ft X 4ft patch. A Wine Cap mushroom garden can produce reliable crops each spring and summer for up to 3 years. Adding more organic mulch annually will increase the lifespan of your mushroom patch. Once established mycelium from your Wine Cap garden can also be transplanted to fresh mulch in new areas around your garden! You'll be surrounded by mushrooms every spring and fall! Our instructions also include container plantings which can be done year-round.

Over a year and no fruit

My first attempt last year around this time failed sadly I have not gotten any mushrooms. I spread the bag around a tree and layered woodchips and straw. May attempt another time. I must have done something wrong.

wine caps indoors

So far we just have mycelium, no fruit. We started these on November 18, so maybe it's too soon to expect fruit.

They even deliver to Nevada!

The delivery was prompt. The directions were very clear. Waiting to see if the mushrooms will grow here in Nevada! Our overall experience has been very good.

Straw

The spawn is working its magic. Haven't seen any fruit as yet but the garden is coming together nicely this spring. I'll let you know.
