Almond Mushroom - Champignon Agaric Royal

Almond Agaricus (Agaricus subrufescens) smells like almonds. Easy to grow, simply add almond mushroom spawn to garden beds of fully decomposed compost topped with leaf mulch. Seed himematsutake spawn under a topdressing of 3'' to better 8'' of compost in spring. During hot months encourage fruiting with shade and supplemental water. Almond mushroom mycelium grows in warm temperatures of 50 to 95 ° F. Spawn does not tolerate temperatures below 35 ° F, plant when the danger of frost is truly over. In northern countries with shorter growing seasons enjoy an additional late harvest of almond mushrooms by growing mycelium in moisture controlled high tunnels and greenhouses.
