Guerilla Growing Experience

Has anyone had any experience, let alone success with guerilla growing techniques? I live in a perfect environment to try this, with multiple strains and species all growing wild almost year round. I also live nearby a shop that sells spore syringes and prints, etc, so it seemsw relatively simple and seems like it can be very productive with little work and risk.
Is it worth a shot, or am I just wasting my time?

Yes, depending on your locale, mushrooms can be grown outside. Abuse this search engine and you will get all the answers you need. Asking questions that are already in the FAQ and TEKS just makes people skip over assiting you.

If you don't live in the desert like me, you may be even more successful with an outdoor grow. 'plant' a bed of spawn/coir or whatever under a shady bush or somewhere humid and out of direct sunlight. Use common sense and water it if possible; you should be golden

Note: It is also extremely easy for me to acquire cow and/or horse dung, even if it means pasteurizing it.

Well, it's not really a smokeshop, its really more of a "bookstore" with an enthobotony section in the back kind of thing.
It's in the city close by, and a very very liberal city at that.

Man it is great growing some of your own fungi outdoors here is my experience from a few summers ago
I had a large rubber maid bin and drilled holes in the bottom of it for drainage, I also used a large flower pot that already had drainage. I filled them with horse poo and basicly just sprayed the hose in the containers untill the poo was soaked and broked it up good with a stick. Then I let it drain some water untill it was only slightly damp, that is when I busted up my mycelium culture and mixed it up. Thankfullly and to my joy, the mycelium colonised the poo in both containers. I put the containers in some light shade and for about a week, nothing appeared and the medium was beggining to dry out so I brought both containers into my fort in my yard and noticed that the poo was fruiting already only all the pins were forming on the sides. I then took the briks of colonised poo and set them on the floor of my fort and realized that there must have been over 200 pins on each mass of poo. I went outside and misted them about 5-6times daily untill I had a very Large amout of very LARGE mushrooms fruiting inside my fort. These mushrooms had been growing outside and had a look all their own that added to the magic or outdoor growing. In the end I had over a pound wet from my little experiment and it was mind blowing

Nice. So you would recommend horse dung instead of cow dung or manure? I read that Black Kow brand cow manure works well, but I've also read that horse dung produces some monsters, but there is also a chance of other mycelia colonizing it like shaggy manes and what not. I'm still in conflict as to which I should use.

if you cant sterilize substrate and transfer them outside your best bet would be to make a bed of substrate 3-4 inches deep by 2x2 feet or larger depending on how much substrate you have . then knock them up with several quarts of liquid culture or many PF tek jars , cover with MGMC and then straw or local ground covering like twigs leaves and such avoid pine needles they are acidic. make sure it gets no direct sunlight. if you can pasteurize large amounts of substrate .. then knock up as many quart jars or mycobags as you can use like 1/2 qt jar of fully colonized substrate to to 2-3 qt jars or 1 mycobag full of pasteurized substrate . then transfer outside when fully colonized. BTW my avatar was an outside grow of spent substrate. Or.... you can do a in vitro tek .. set it and forget it .. you get this

use horse poo . cow dung in the wild actually just covers the mycelium the nutrients leach from the cow pie into the grasses covered by the dung and the patty keeps the area moist and out of direct sunlight . I have seen an outdoor tek using black kow manure and it worked he used a long tray lined with plastic and inoculated with large amounts of colonzed substrate or LC do a search to try to find it .. Dr_Mcgillicuddy's idea seems like a great way to try it as well ..
