Almond Portabello Garden Spawn

(Agaricus subrufesens)

This mushroom is favored as a culinary and as a medicinal mushroom. It grows best when mixed in with your compost or a bagged compost and manure product and then used as a mulch around your plants. It also grows well on pasteurized straw. (A way to pasteurize your own straw is to soak it completely underwater in cold water for a week.) It is a warm season mushroom. Keep the bag of spawn refrigerated until late spring when you can plant it out and it will fruit during the summer and fall. It also grows well in a tote and will produce more quickly than in the garden. 4lb bag of spawn.
