Stropharia, also known as red wine cap or garden giant, prefers to grow in hardwood wood chips rather than hardwood totems. Unlike some of the other cultivated mushrooms, they are less particular when it comes to the freshness of the substrate and don't mind mixing with other organisms in the soil. Steve Gabriel, Agroforestry Extension Specialist for Cornell Small Farms, explains that the process of spreading substrate and spawn is like making lasagna. Remove leaves to expose the soil. A five pound bag will adequately colonize a four by four foot square. Spread hardwood saw dust on the ground and then break up the five pound block of spawn into small pieces. Spread that across the sawdust and follow with a layer of hardwood wood chips. Watering the stropharia bed will help keep the mycellium moist. Stropharia tend to fruit after rain events and during fluctuating temperatures but their fruiting is somewhat haphazard so it's best to keep the mushroom bed close to the house, garden, or pathways so as not to miss a flush of mushrooms.
