This spring I created a 6'x4' woodchip bed specifically for growing wine cap mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata). I was also setting up a Hügelkultur mound at the same time, so I threw a handful of mushroom spawn into it just for shits. Both beds were fairly prolific producers of wild mushrooms such as mica caps all throughout the summer and fall, but sadly no wine caps -- but I was just out by the Hügel pulling out some old broccoli plants to throw into the compost pile and saw this little guy poking up. I guess that means it wasn't a total dud. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come next season. We'll see. 🤞
