Organic Almond Agaricus Mushroom Sawdust Spawn

Almond agaricus (Agaricus subrufescens) has a sweet earthy fragrance and is easier to grow than its mushroom cousins (button, cremini, and portobello.) In fact, it thrives on compost! Almond agaricus is fast substrate colonizer and has a sweet, fragrant almond scent.

If grown in well-cared-for beds in warmer temperatures, it’s a reliable producer. Similar to button mushrooms, Almond agaricus grows in compost, but does not require pasteurization. It’s an ideal mushroom for those who have some experience gardening with other mushroom species, like wine cap or oysters.

Recommended use:

Almond agaricus sawdust spawn is only recommended for use in outdoor beds.
Almond agaricus sawdust spawn must combined with a substrate (like compost) in order to fruit.
Please note: Almond agaricus does not grow on logs.
