Wine-Cap Mushroom: Stropharia Rugosoannulata

Category: Foraging, Fungi – jj_murphy – 6:24 am

I discovered the wine-cap mushroom last year thanks to Dianna Smith. I ate part of the huge mushroom and buried part in the wood chips outside my window.

Imagine my surprise when I spotted what looked like wine-caps under my window this year. I am a cautious forager, so I waited for confirmation.

I have succeeded in transporting this wonderful edible mushroom from one mulch bed to another.

I am really excited about this. I’ll save a bit of this harvest just to see if I can encourage the spores to fruit again.
