Brewers Mushrooms

Stropharia rugoso-annulata

The Garden Giant, or Wine Cap, grows naturally in gardens, on rotten straw like old haystacks, and on decomposing wood chips. It may be incorporated among dwarf fruit trees, implanted in trenches or frames, or installed between vegetable rows where an occasional dose of straw mulch is applied. Again, the trees and vegetables will provide some shade and humidity.

The Garden Giant mushroom tends to fruit during the warm summer months as low as 40° F. and as high as 90° F. Once inoculated, beds of the take 4-12 months to fruit. Flushes span 6 months to  years depending on care, location and the mass of colonized material. These mushrooms when very young mushrooms  are considered the most desirable for eating.

Place logs in a shaded area and keep moist. Elevating the logs from the surface, creating stacks, or leaning against each other for support is best. Frequent and normal rainfall should keep them moist, but periodic soakings may be required during dry spells. If the logs receive no rainfall for two weeks, we recommend soaking them overnight in a tub or bucket of water.

Spring inoculated logs may produce mushrooms by Fall, but will typically take up to one year to mature. Once the log has matured, mushrooms will begin producing in spring when daytime temperatures have started reaching 75F.

Because of their lower humidity requirements, Reishi mushroom logs may also be grown "potted" indoors. Simply place one end of your log in a planter and fill with a mixture of sand and small gravel. "Water" your log at least once every two weeks by pouring water into the sand gravel mix, the log will soak it up. Mushroom conks and antlers will begin forming when the log has matured. Their slow and steady growth is fun to observe!

Properly maintained logs will continue to produce mushrooms for many seasons!

Each log is about 2 1/2 ft long x 4in diameter.

All logs come with a simple to follow set of instructions
