Lots of Wine Cap Mushrooms



I’ve been breaking up the big patches of Wine Cap mushrooms fruiting in the yard to sow the mycelium over an even larger area. 

Stropharia rugosoannulata is a large, edible, commercially grown agaric that flourishes in woodchips of the kind I have all through the yard.

I’m not a great lover of edible mushrooms, but I have had an interest in mushrooms for over 40 years, and pioneered the use of Purina Dog Chow as a food base on agar plates in college.
