Wood loving species that are temp tolerant?

I'm just curious as to the species and strains of shrooms that would be good for an experimental uncontrolled outdoor growing enviro. Climate and flora are of the Mid-michigan variety. Scrub oak/pine with some beech/birch, small hilly, former swamp area terrain with large amounts of dead woodand brush. I'm entertaining trying to innoculate an area with amanitas or some other faster growing wood species to see results. Any suggestions? Comments?

check on www.thehawkeseye.com i think he's saying that B+ have been seen fruiting with nights as cold as 40 degrees F. and days only like 60 degrees F. I believe they are a wood loving strain too

Well if you read what i said, you would have gone to www.thehawkseye.com and seen for yourself. but since your webbrowser only loads www.shroomery.org , i'll post it for you. B+ The infamous B+ strain of cubensis... what a chameleon this one is. This is by far the most versatile cubensis we've ever seen. Adapting and growing in such a wide range of temperature conditions and substrates. It truly thrives to spread its seed, which by the way its a very heavy spore depositor. Not only does it grow easily indoors, we've seen the B+ fruit outdoors several times in a wide range of temps and substrates. Several times one winter, night time low of 45F, day high of 60F, the B+ just flourished. Spring/summer, low of 75F, high of 90F, the B+ once again fruited beautifully. We've seen it grow on alder wood and fruit, compost, straw,dung,rice, and it especially loves bird/finch seed. We've heard so many good reports back from ppl that just love this mushroom and how easy it grows, and how beautiful it is, its loved by many. B strain Well, there is not much more to say except this is one beautiful carmel cap wood loveing mushroom. Its potency is comparable to the B+. It will also grow well cased indoors, perhaps the best way is with a little wood mixed in with the soil , but I haven't heard of anyone growing it on cakes yet, but my friend is experimenting with this. check out hawks webpage for the full description (oh wait, your mom blocked out every webpage except shroomery with netnanny.. i forgot.. hahahaa)

Cubensis very rarely fruits (if ever) on a liginous substrate alone. By woodlover you are talking about higher psilocybes, and these are harder to cultivate
