Stropharia rugosoannulata, commonly known as the wine cap stropharia, “garden giant”, burgundy mushroom or king stropharia, is an agaric of the family Strophariaceae found in Europe and North America, and introduced to Australia and New Zealand.
Described as very tasty by some authors, king stropharia is easily cultivated on a medium similar to that on which it grows naturally. Antonio Carluccio recommends sautéeing them in butter or grilling them.
Stropharia rugosoannulata is not hallucinogenic but can cause gastrointestinal upset if eaten in a consecutive daily manner.
