I've got outside beds of elm oysters, blewits, wine caps, almond portabellos, and prince mushrooms growing under my big spruces. should produce soon! I've grown 3 types of oysters at home off of hardwood pellets. not hard to do. anyone interested in trying their hand, give me a yell.

well so far I've gotten 5 flushes of wine caps and a crapload of white and blue oysters. nothing w/ the blewits and almond portabellos yet. blewits like the cold. I'm hoping this 1st frost tonight triggers them to pin!

Good luck Mooseslayer! I never have found blewits around here. I'm pretty confident that we don't have the right terrain/conditions. Same goes for lobsters and hedgehogs. But I will definitely keep looking!

make a humidity tent w/ a large ziplock. poke a few small holes in it. place over your shroom block. mist as much as needed to keep humidity on the inside of the bag. after they stop producing inside break up the block into some hardwood chips pour it In a mound on some cardboad in a moist shady spot in the backyard. pour another 5 gal. hardwood sawdust on top of that and cover w/ wet newspaper or straw. keep moist/ not soaking. in a few months you get some more flushes! maybe more than you got indoors.
