Here's some outdoor inspiration. Super solid fruit (probably weighed closer to 130-140 fully hydrated) Grown in a planter box near the beach. Very windy location. Grown in full sun ... think this is what caused the light coloration. Buggers looked like albino portabellos!
 Strain: Hawaiian Spore Source: Generous Shroomery member Spawn: Rye Berries/ Rye Grass Seed (70:30 ratio) Fruiting setup: Outdoor flower box. Horse manure-coffee compost - bury and forget.

What were the temps? I've wanted to try an outdoor grow in the spring or fall, but there's limited shade in west texas, somewhere near Bobby Knight ;0)

Used 2 quarts spawn mixed with approx 8 lbs of compost. All placed placed in a balconey flowerbox. Produced maybe a dozen fruits over 100 grams, lots more in the 30-50g range. Can't remember the # of flushes, but it fruited all summer. Planter was equipped with a drip irragation line.
These were extreamly solid fruits, sure it had something to do with rich compost, constant moisture, SUN and LOTS of FEA. The mushroom pictured ended drying up to over 1/2 an ounce. So there is no way in hell I'd attempt to polish something that huge off by myself!!
I'd lose my marbles!!! 
Im a lightweight....1.5-2g of compost boomers does the trick for me.

Getting them to grow big outside is the easy part....keeping the slugs, bugs and critters from wiping them out is another story.
Here are a few big ones grown indoors:
