the oysters i plan to spawn to pasteurised straw in a plastic bag, then to hang outside (though it's mighty cold here so i may have to hang it up in the kitchen!) the Stropharia Rugosoanulata i have only ideas but no understanding. same? or to pasteurised sawdust, or even sterilised sawdust? then what? how should i fruit it? thank you.

Grow it out on wood chips and or straw, and plant in beds in your yard or garden, It can be fruited indoors, but needs a bacterial population to stimulate fruiting, and you have to use unpasteurized, soil based casings, which tend to contaminate before you get mushrooms.
Its easy and low maintenance done outdoors, as long as the beds don't dry out.

thanks for the response. realistically, with my non-garden british-winter situation, the SRA is gonna die in the jar. i'll change the thread title accordingly.
i have a fully colonised jar of pleurotus eryngii (king), and another of pleurotus djamor (pink) which i plan to spawn to pasteurised straw. the straw is hanging up now and cooling. let's talk about oysters:
shall i do plastic bags, and hang em up? does anyone have any comments (pref. with experience) of growing oysters in trays? is there a minimal or maximal temp i should avoid? is there anything else i should be careful to do / avoid to get a good crop of oysters? I've previously successfully fruited pl ostreatus and pl pulmonaris, both pinned indoors then hung outdoors at 60F
thank you.

Prepare some woodchips spawn for the spring with it.

sterile or pasteurized woodchips in jars or bags. Colonization time roughly 1 month.

Stropharia rugoso annulata can be cultivated indoors Shirl. Try either straw, wood chips or a mixture of the two cased.
Here's a funny pic MushMushi posted
It was grown indoors in that jar lol

Biotek did u use unpasterized casing or sterile in your indoors success?? my limited understanding is that they (and the Agaricuses) like Armedia posted need living microbes in casings layer also they are slow growers? what was the total time from colonization to fruiting maturity? Impressively done for indoors supposedly that's the hard way.

Nowhere in my post did I say that I had cultivated SRA indoors. I have heard of people having success indoors using a substrate of pasteurized straw and a casing of lightly pasteurized garden loam. I seem to remember a mod mentioning a while back that he had success fruiting indoors but can't find the thread using the search function. Perhaps Mushmushi can help as he originaly posted the pic of the SRA grown indoors in the jar.
