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.

WINE CAP MUSHROOM RESEARCH FINDINGS
(study conducted by SARE and Field & Forest Products)

"The Wine Cap fungus, Stropharia rugoso-annulata (SRA), is an edible specialty mushroom that excels at rapid decomposition of straw and woodchips. It is also an ideal biopesticide candidate because it is nonpathogenic, conditioned for vigorous outdoor cultivation, and easy to grow. Wine Cap mushrooms can be used to improve soil health, suppress plant disease, and supplement grower income by providing a unique mushroom cash crop.”
