Red Wine Cap

Red Wine Cap mushrooms (scientific name: Stropharia rugosoannulata), also known as Wine Cap, King Stropharia, or Garden Giant, are prized for their striking burgundy caps and thick white stems. These mushrooms offer a crisp, slightly nutty flavor, making them perfect for braising, sautéing, grilling, or pickling in a variety of culinary dishes.

Easy to cultivate, Red Wine Cap mushrooms thrive in garden beds and raised beds, and tolerate more sunlight than many other mushroom varieties.
