Lepista nuda

Cultivated in an outdoor bed composed of a mixture of compost, straw and wood shavings.

Cultivation tips
This species grows very happily around compost heaps and amonst woody leaf litter. Once established, the outdoor beds require little maintainance and should fruit every year.  Crops have been harvested from Late September, well into winter, even after light frosts. Indoor cultivation is possible too and beds should be prepared using the same methods used for Agaricus farming.  The best casing mixture is peat with plenty of limestone flour.
