Wine Cap Dust Spawn 5 Lb. (Stropharia Rugosoannulata)

Wine Cap Mushrooms (aka: King Stropharia, or “The Garden Giant”) are a garden work-horse. This species is similar in texture and culinary uses as a portobello. It grows as an annual in wheat straw or as a perennial in wood chips. (download instructions).

It has amazing water filtration, soil retention, and composting abilities! Grow them along side any vegetable or ornamental landscapes to provide additional aesthetics, water, nutrients, and health for you and your plants.

Wine cap beds can be inoculated as soon as average daytime temperatures are consistently above freezing, as late as 4 weeks before frost. Wine Caps typically fruit best in spring and fall, especially in very rainy conditions. They can tolerate sun and heat, but will not produce as much during hotter months. The fuzzy white Wine Cap mycelium can be easily transferred to inoculate other beds/areas as desired in between flushes.
