Our 3kg Wine Cap Sawdust Spawn is the perfect choice for gardeners and mushroom enthusiasts who want to grow their own delicious and nutritious mushrooms directly in outdoor beds. Known as Stropharia rugosoannulata, the Wine Cap is also called the Garden Giant or King Stropharia, famous for producing large, meaty mushrooms with a mild, nutty flavor.
Why Choose Win Cap Sawdust Spawn
Sawdust spawn is ideal for outdoor cultivation because it colonizes mulch, wood chips, and straw quickly and effectively. The 3kg size provides enough material to inoculate a generous garden bed, pathway, or permaculture area. Once established, Wine Caps can fruit for several seasons, giving you a consistent harvest year after year.
Growing Conditions
Wine Cap mushrooms thrive in shaded garden beds with hardwood chips, straw, or composted mulch. Simply spread the sawdust spawn evenly throughout the prepared substrate, water to maintain consistent moisture, and allow the mycelium to colonize. Fruiting temperatures range between 12ยฐC and 25ยฐC, and pinning is triggered by microbial activity in the bed.
