Bricktop Sawdust Spawn - (Hypholoma lateritium)

(Hypholoma lateritium)

The aggressive soil-builder that paints the forest floor orange.

Bricktop is one of the most vigorous wood-decomposing mushrooms you can grow. Once established, it can spread rapidly through mulch, logs, and woody debris, producing spectacular flushes of brick-red to orange mushrooms during the cooler months of the year.

At Mushroom Mountain, we've watched Bricktops completely colonize mulch-covered trails, transforming them into vibrant carpets of mushrooms. If you're looking for a mushroom that works hard beneath the surface and fruits abundantly above it, this is it.
