RE: King Stropharia (Wine Cap) Mushroom patch update
I don't know much about cooking mushrooms, so I can't help you there.
One of my neighbors has been trying to grow mushrooms on sections of logs in his back yard. I find the process fascinating, but I have no idea how long it takes to start getting mushrooms.
When I looked into growing mushrooms I wanted to grow reishi, maitake, and shiatake but they all required log sections and I was looking to use my woodshop scraps as grow media which is how I settled on king stropharia. From what I read about growing on log sections, the time to fruiting is mostly determined by the size of the log you inoculate. I've heard people get their first flush at 6 months and I've also heard it can take 3+ years so i'm not sure what you can really expect.
