wtf?! penis envy?! I don't have no penis envy! 1

Well the fact I got outdoor cubes in a zone 2 climate is a miracle in itself. Tarps for the win! Nights can get below 40F. It's really fricken dry. Atm my rh is 13%. The environmental factors obviously made them look different, but why do they look so close to PE? 
Anyways here's to my contamination pile with no penis envy making penis envy 
2 days ago:

Picked today:

Seriously can't get over how heavy they are too.. 1459 grams wet.. holy shit right?
biggest dick
 6 mushrooms 
UPDATE July 1st
I seriously wasn't expecting to have an update in such a short time.. haha where to begin..
Those fuckers took forever to dry. Here's dry weight and my biggest fake dick. Starting to think I like dry cold climates..
 I've never had mushrooms dry to 10% weight. These ones are almost exactly 10% haha.
Here's the tarp patch today :P

Also for you mister eat and for science, check out the patch I made by a tree. I put it in the tallest grass there. NO TARPS. I parted the grass and dumped my used/contaminated subs in it then folded the grass over it. Here's the pics. Not PE looking . Still hella dry looking though. Guess that's what you get in zone 2 open air haha.

Another one I picked from this patch 2 days ago that's cracker dry:

Now I'm really baffled why they looked like PE.
UPDATE July 12
Another great update! check out what the EXACT same spot as the PE made. (2nd flush) they came out normal! I didn't water them at all and we got barely any rain. Just kept them tarped as per usual haha. Well they're still really cracked from too dry, but they are AMAZING! Check it out!

Another 636 grams 
July 22
You can see the tarp in the background 

Ever seen a heavier cluster? :P and so begins the shitty drying process. first world problems.
Seriously though. Why did the first fruits look like pe and now they don't?

Did you set out to make an outdoor bed or just bury some contaminated cakes? Living in a zone 3 this gives me some hope.

Yup I feel the zone 2 pain as well. People telling you to "just bury it outside man". Fucking makes me so jelly. Nice results tho, I loved the ones that I lucked out with last year.

I just put my contaminated subs in a pile. I don't even bury them. Threw a tarp over it, and voila! Good luck man it's apparently possible in harsh climates

Dude, you're so right. Zone 2 problems!! I'm so jealous of the people with pans or wood lovers out their front door, or constant cubes coming up all year round. I'm just thankful I even got anything haha. Here's to zone 2 people making it work

The pile helped you. The biomass produces its own heat

I didnt think of that! So basically... 1) make a bunch of scattered piles with contaminated/used substrates 2) water twice a week and tarp them 3) ???? 4)

Did you just bury them with regular soil from outside and tarp them?

I think they can survive about any climate once the substrates is colonized. I mean it's just a mass of mycelium with a crapload of stored nutrients. They just needs a window to grow where there's enough moisture available and the temps are reasonable part of the day.

I would, but it's pretty old considering it's a pile that's been around for a few months. I have younger cultures that are more worth the time . Also they did this because of my environment. If I were to clone it, it'd still look like regular cubes indoors. I know this because the pile is made up of regular old cube varieties that make normal cubes indoors. I wish it would make PE from now on though.

Would you prefer too hot or too cold? Because here we have both most unstable climate ever. Winters can go down to -40 without windchill. Added windchill, and you might as well go to Pluto. Right now it's pleasant though, and probably too hot in Florida . However in 6 months I'll be envying you man.

No soil used. Seriously just took my contaminated/used manure subs and threw them into a pile in open air. Tarped it and watered twice a week.

Not when its -40F and I got 4 feet of snow on the ground. This spring we had zero rain, was pretty much 1% RH. Even this last week we got a bit of rain and its still so dry, that shit dries out nearly instantly. Course the 20-40 km winds that are almost constant don't help. I have put taped up monos outside and had them dry out in 2 days.

Damn pasty.

Difficult. I really don't do it much. Maybe if I need space or a tub I will toss a sub under clear plastic and try to keep up with the misting. But my houses central humidifier is busted which ain't helping either.

Yeah we had a seriously dry spring. Major drought up here. They're saying it'll severely fuck up fields.
Buck, if you only knew the half of it.. we're pretty limited to indoor grows. Thus I'm a grower, not a hunter :P

Did you add any spent contaminated substrate to that pile since the Spring thaw?
I try to prepare new outdoor beds every year. If you got those to winter over in Zone 2 I'm going to have to change my MO.
And to Pastywhyte: The more snow the better - it's good insulation from subzero air.

I'm a fellow resident of canadia Yes, Canadia.
That sucks though. I'm doing my first open air tray and it just started to pin probably 2 days ago. A couple were starting to crack on the cap, so I guess I wasn't misting enough. Now I'm using an entire spray bottle on the tub everyday.

Haha canadia eh buck? For outdoors I used a watering can. Misting would be such a hassle.. how do you not get sore fingers from it?! XD either way good luck! Pinning always a good sign 
Coffee, I moved here last October. It was basically winter, so I waited for spring to start up after 2 long years of no growing. So essentially this pile is all from March onwards. You'll have to wait for next year to get my verdict on snow.

Yeah I'm ambidextrous so I just swap hands lol.
These pins are fat as hell so I'm hoping it'll be kick ass. As of now my humidity is about 70-80% but its been raining some lately. So I can only imagine fruiting in 1% rh. Usually my house is pretty dry though like 20%

Very nice, my friend.
Two things going for you: one, they are PE and tend to be dense, and two, cold temperature fruiting.
we anxiously await your "tarp tek"
