Why do shrooms grow so quick in nature, but slow in homegrown optiumum conditions?

I day or so after it rains, shrooms pop up everywhere. Is this because the given medium (tree bark, cow shit, whatever) is already colonized?

Exactly, and usually just waiting for the conditions to fruit.

I suggest that it's because you're not eagerly anticipating those mushrooms to fruit. Or maybe you are. What do I know?

Yeah, they grow just as fast when homegrowing once the cakes are colonized and ready to fruit.

Ok here is how it is. Outdoors cubes will grow from a pin to mature in about 2-3 days. It takes about 5-7 days if you grow them indoors. The mushrooms outdoors have an infinate amount of fresh air while you constantly need to fan yours indoors. Even then the air you replace it with is not as good as the air outside. You know what it is like to go outside and take a deep breath. Its much more refreshing than doing it indoors. The mushrooms are the same way in likeing the outdoor air. I know there are more factors determining why they grow faster outdoors, but this is the only thing i could come up with.

k2nride, if I have a window bringing in cool air and a fan pulling that air in, will my shrooms grow faster? Anyone else want to answer?

I don't believe they will. I think K2 is taking a stab in the dark at this one. Also if you start introducing more air from outside you could increase your risk for contamination.

In NATURE, all you see is the fruiting. Not all else in the life cycle that preceeds that fruiting.

Their was a post(long ago) about temperature cycling. That said the constant temp changes found in nature contribute to the faster growth.
Plus in nature you really only see the fruiting stage, not the pinning stage. Most (if not all) the wild cubies I have seen, were comming out of the ground w/veils not far from breaking.

Shrooms really do grow alot faster outdoors. When I do outdoor beds Ill have pins one day and shrooms the next. I grow in the summer so maybe its the heat that causes them to grow so fast. Theyre nicer looking shrooms too.

all of this has been noted. But can anyone really prove why there is so much faster growth?

I don't think the growth outdoors is so much faster, if at all.
In summer indoors P. cubensis mushrooms go from pin to flat cap in 2 days.
