King Stropharia mushroom grow kits available now.
These intermittent late spring rain showers have brought on a massive mushroom flush in a few of my beds meaning lots of mycelium is being moved around & I have a few kits available for sale at the moment I'm offering to subscribers first before I post it up elsewhere. New beds inoculated now should give their first fruiting by this coming August or September.
Growing instructions can be found here:
Bag of spawn to use with your own substrate. £15
Bag of spawn + fresh hardwood wood chip enough for a 1m x 1m bed. £40.
A heads up for mushroom products in late summer…
‘Lughnasadh' Buckets
The Lughnasadh bucket is a special arrangement of a young tree such as a rowan, elderberry, oak, holly, scotch laburnum, siberian pea shrub, beech, small-leaved lime or hazel under planted with small plants such as sedums, semperviviums, yellow pimpernel, dog violets & the like in a 12 - 20 litre container. Each one very different, planted alongside a mass of inoculated wood chip spawn which will be “ready to fruit” of one of my 5 different, edible, oyster mushroom varieties. From the more common grey, summer, pearl & white elm oysters to the quite rare tarragon oyster variety only found in the wild in the UK. Holes are drilled at the sides of these buckets containing the tree where the edible mushrooms will fruit from in August into September.
Makes a great gift for your nature loving friends & family. They will be offered to subscribers first as I expect to only have a few of these available this season.
If you're stopping by for mushroom spawn & kits, may as well get a look of some of my other trees, fruit bushes, perennial vegetables & plants on offer this season as well…
Enjoy our turn from Spring into Summer incoming… 😄👍
