I live in Zone 6 so by November things get pretty chilly. If I start now and have wood chip spawn ready by September, would it be too late to make an outdoor bed? If so, is it too early to start making spawn for spring 2022? At most, my colonized wood chip spawn would have to go from September to April in the fridge. Would it still be viable after that long? If it matters, I'm planning to do the tek with P. azurescens.

I may have quit shrooms, but shrooms haven't quit me!
13 years after I first posted about my little wavy caps patch, it continues to fruit.
Its perennial. I mulch, they fruit, and this for 13 years now, and I think 15 years in total.
Aren't they lovely?

For roughly 1/3 of my life they are with me.
Sakura in spring, Wavy Caps in autumn.
How beautiful the transitional seasons!

The fruits below are growing on a 15 year old perennial wavy caps patch. Every 2-3 years beech wood chips go on top, and they keep on fruiting!
You're supposed to make a shallow bed of chips, I made one, way deeper than the 4 inches it fruits off. If you have woodlover mycelium at depths it can't fruit, its going to try get to the surface. So it sends mycelium everywhere, even through the soil, trying to find dead wood to fruit on.
So, you get a reservoir of mycelium it always grows back from.
I guess thats the secret to perennial patches of woodlovers, making 8-10inch deep beds they keep growing back from. Also, very frost resistant! If it consumes chips, the thickness decreases, you top it up with chips and it wolfs its way through it to fruit on top.
Here, yummier!
