Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

garden giant

13 years ago

I am thinking of trying to grow garden giants for food and also like the idea that it will help in the veggie garden. Anybody growing this mushroom in a garden? How do you do it? How much sun can this species actually take? Any other help is appreciated.

Anybody?

It is also known as King Stropharia or Wine Cap.

I was really hoping for some insight on these mushrooms and how they may help improve garden soil conditions while producing an edible by-product.

If no one here knows anything, can you point me in the right direction?
