These excellent garden mushrooms are masters of decomposition as they turn wood into soil (while holding in moisture and unlocking nutrients making it available for plants/crops) and produce delicious, meaty mushrooms.

King Stropharia is excellent in permaculture as it's an aggressive recycler with a dense mycelial mat (aka mushroom roots) capable of grey water filtration. It's an excellent companion for corn and supports overall soil health.

The Garden Giant has been known to help beneficial insects including bees and help build a healthy soil microbiome. Not only do they encourage beneficial garden insects (and are reported to boost bee immunity) but they also help your plants grow!

Once patch is made it can begin producing mushrooms within 2-12 months.

If you see any colouring other than white in your sawdust spawn bag please send us a photo before opening as this could be contamination and we will replace it. It is very rare we get contamination, but on the odd occasion, it can happen. We will always replace any unopened contaminated spawn. If you do need to email us please send your order number so we can find your order in our system -- this will help speed up the process!

We cannot guarantee mushroom growth with outdoor patches due to the nature of growing outdoors, local weather patterns, local pests etc.
Outdoor King Stropharia patches are easy to set up. Simply put down a thin layer of sawdust/wood chip and then a layer of spawn. Cover with another 8-12 inches of sawdust/wood chip. Keep the patch watered over summer and you should have your first crop by mid summer/autumn. Once a patch is established simply add new wood annually and tasty mushrooms will continue to grow.

We recommend at least 2kg of spawn per square metre of patch you want to establish. The more spawn used the more likely the patch is to fruit during its first season. Once established, patches can be maintained for years.
