I have tried cultivating p cubensis outside and had no success. I think it was my innoculum that wasn't sterile. It's a really finicky species, I think starting your own culture from agar is the only foolproof method, or try for the uncle Ben tek and get lucky with a clean needle. But it's definitely not easy. Shiitake is easy.
Mmmm golden teachers… So much easier than one would expect!

Uncle Ben worked a dream for me! Indoor, low light, misted every day.
