Wine Cap Spawn
Every spring and fall, I take pre-orders for wine cap mushroom spawn. You can build a mushroom patch in spring and hopes it produces by fall, or spawn them in fall in hopes they fruit the following year. They are very beginner-friendly and simple to grow.
Wine caps are delicious and highly productive mushrooms that are native to our area. Very often their patches produce enough mushrooms that you won't know what to do with them all.
This is myceliated sawdust that can be crumbled and spread on straw and covered with wood chips. It's a low-effort, passive way to turn your flowerbeds and gardens into mushroom producing machines.
The hardest part is getting the ball rolling but once they start growing they won't stop provided they continue to be fed fresh wood chips. They usually fruit the fall after being spawned but can sometimes take an additional year.
Online vendors sell 5lbs for $30 + shipping. I have 15lbs available for $50 with free local delivery. I can help advise you and double check your process when I drop them off.
They're made to order and take some time to make so the sooner I know, the sooner I can start my work.
You're also welcome to join our local Salem mushroom Discord. We share food and recipes, go on forays and go fishing. It is a great resource for farming and foraging and I'm happy to help you with whatever info you need.
It's free and the people are pretty stellar so I encourage you to stop by. We are closing in on 200 people and it would be an honor to have you on board.
Thank you for your continued interest and for supporting local small businesses.
