🔬 THE SPECIES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Stropharia rugosoannulata (Wine Cap / King Stropharia) is a robust outdoor garden mushroom that fruits on hardwood chip beds. Young specimens have a deep wine-red cap that mellows to caramel with age; the texture stays meaty even after long roasting and the flavour reminds many tasters of roasted potato skin. Rich, savoury, faintly potato-like.
