Are you planning to grow the ovoids indoor or outdoor? I was wanting to try to grow ovoids indoor but have heard no one does it

Azure and Cyan Noob Journey (So far so good)
I don't post much, but read a shit ton. Thought I'd share my process here. I didn't really take any pics along the way.
This is my first experience with wood-lovers/outdoor. I tried to be careful with research and such. Mainly used books, RR videos and this forum, so thanks everyone for sharing!
I did one indoor cube grow before, mainly PF and tub with fish pumps circulating air. Lost a lot to contam, but had enough to have made it worth it.... had to stop due to a lot of work travel, couldn't give it enough attention.
Recently bought a house in SW Wa with 4 acres, so I figured I can finally get my dreams of perpetual outdoor beds going. My ultimate goal is to try and reproduce what happens naturally in nature by getting Mycorrhizal symbiotic relationships with doug firs and birch established - unlimited food for myc, and gas exchange both ways. Also have some small doug firs that don't get sun, so hoping the myc passes some photosynthesis to the young ones. anyways, it might take a while, but that's the pipe dream.
Got started late this yr due to some bullshit, but I think around late April. Original plan was to get in ground by May/June before summer heat, but that didn't happen so I kept things going inside by doing a couple rounds of spawning.
Inoculation First, I inoculated PF Tek jars with spore syringes - 12 of p cyan and 12 p azure. Took a while to kick off, but once I got air exchange/temps correct (I had it too warm around 75) - but dropped under 65 f and they took off
Primary Sterile Wood Spawn Then in June, did a mix of sawdust from doug fir pellets, + hickory and birch chips. Mixed with gypsum and steel cut oatmeal. Put in filter bags - PC'd @ 15 psi for about 90 min. About 1-1.5gal of substrate per bag.
Transfer cakes to bags - 1 cake per bag... broke them up and mixed really well with fresh substrate. These took off really quickly. I have a sub-basement room that stays pretty cool - even when 100F outside, it can be 60's in that room as long as doors stay closed. No A/C. I monitored temp with a remote monitor and would occasionally blow cool air in at night if temps were rising. Generally stayed in the 65-70 range, aside from some warmer times that slowed growth while traveling.
I had 4 bags get contaminated, I believe water ran out in PC on these. Since they were heat sealed after spawning, I just didn't touch them - no risk of further contam. after a few weeks, I shook the healthy bags to redistribute. Out of curiosity, I did this with one of the green mold bags. within days, it was solid green in there...
Secondary Non-sterile Wood Spawn A few wks later, all bags were very healthy and the myc ate the mold in the untouched bags. I think that's pretty awesome they just take over.
Next, I followed same substrate recipe, but mixed in some larger chips, less sawdust. Did not sterilized, just tried to keep everything clean. Spawned to bus trays - about 50/50 spawn:fresh. If you're keeping track, we're up to about 40-50 gal total substrate now. about 25ish per strain. This only sat in tubs for a week or so as the temps started dropping in Sept, so I transferred outside.
Naturalizing Spawn Dug two separate 4'x4'x10" pits, both under doug fir, which also have big shrubs around them. Sprinkled hydrated lime on soil and tossed all tubs in. Covered with cardboard and bricks on top, watered every couple days. had some very wide temp swings - up in 80's and down to 50's. after a couple wk, I took cardboard off. the cardboard was heavily colonized and even took some colonized sawdust with it. cardboard has been sitting out and myc still growing, so I'm going to dig a couple more pits, put cardboard on bottom, huck wood chips then soil over, and see what happens.
Casing - tested ph on peat moss - added hydrated lime to water before hydrating to bring up PH to around 8. covered pits, then sprinkled on some native soil and tossed in grass seed. this was a wk or two ago now and the weather is starting to be rainy for several days, down to 40's at night and 60's during day.
I'm giving this about a 50/50 chance of fruiting this yr. the main aspect I'm curious about is if the myc is still colonizing the spawn, then ideal fruiting conditions occur, like 40-50f and rainy... Will they fruit if they're still actively spreading to new substrate? this I can't find much info about, so I'm checking patches every day. It's getting more and more rainy, colder and colder, but extended forecast says it won't be sub 50's during day until late Nov. Perhaps that will be enough time to finish colonization and fruit like a mother fucker. That's the hope at least!
Thanks again for input and knowledge share. Will update with pics.

Good stuff.
Guerilla style Knock up 2 years ago with cyan Myc. I try to hit as many piles of wood at the end of the season with at least some volunteer chips from a active bed. Some work out, some who knows. This is a start if you want mushrooms in your area and not have to worry if you will find any or not each year. Every little bit helps.

What did you say LL? oh wait, just got it. Gnomes?
Put a few pots together for some upcoming stem butts. 5/2 Alder/Potting soil and some sort of dune grass from Nye Beach,Oregon.
