Deeper beds than fruitable = the way to create a perennial mushroom patch? 3

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!

I'd love to start a wavy patch. I'm in the perfect climate, they are found abundantly in the wild. Pointer to any good teks? Best time to start - wait for the spring? What kind of ground do they like / light exposure? Under a tree OK?

Outdoor Lasagna:
1 Dig down One shovel-blade depth.
2 Line with cardboard 2-3 layers thick
3 Add pasteurized sawdust (hardwood fuel pellets)
4 Add spawn
5 Add woodchips (or Blackberry/raspberry prunings)
6 Add a layer of cardboard or 2
7 Add sawdust
8 Add spawn
9 Top with woodchips
10 yearly: add sawdust and woodchips to top in spring
This works for Morels, Wine Caps, p. allenni and p. cyan for sure, and probably others.
*edit for missing info: shadey corners of the yard do well , under bushes against buildings also seems to work well in my area

Its minus 20°c here this week. I'm pretty sure most of my beds will survive but there will be damage.
