| Thanks, nice pics and write up llamabox! Im a big fan of those. They grow well both indoor and out. I had two cultivated patches from last year produce again this year. Tasty. Very few mushies disagree with my stomach, but these do a little. No one else I fed them to experienced this. Its not enough to stop me from eating them again! I put the caps on pizzas ala pepperoni style. Stems went into some stew. Highly recommended.
My outdoor patches were experimental, but both successful. One was made of very old and degraded wood that was in a landscaping bed. We're talking a decade or more of aging. The wood was poplar and it was chunked by a tree service. Last year it fruited heavy after about 4 months of running. This year just a few. Stamets considers them useful for stump decomposition. So their ability here is no surprise.
The other outdoor bed was hardwood mulch like you buy in 3 cu. ft. bags at Lowes. They fruited heavy last and this year. I expect a quick decline, though, because mushies seem to burn through that stuff pretty quick. I'll have to print them up next year.
