any strand charts?

Hey,
I was wondering if any such charts existed that could tell one which strains of woodlovers fruit in which seasons.
I live in zone 6/7. Summer has just begun. Would it be possible to start any strains of woodlovers at this time of year and have them fruit around fall or even possibly late summer?
Ive done alot of research but most things i could find were all about cubes.

oh thanks,
i hadn't come across that before.
but i guess there is no such mushroom that fits what I'm looking for?
I'd assume a woodlover would be the best bet but do you know of any mushroom that one could start at this time of the year in my zone?
There are mushrooms growing all over the lawns in my neighborhood so I'd think there is a strain that could grow here.

The species are: Psilocybe cyanescens, Psilocybe azurescens, Psilocybe subaeruginosa
I prefer psilocybe cyanescens...Just me.
Outdoor cultivation of the woodlovers is definitely possible in zones 6, 7 and 8. The range can likely be extended also to zone 5, but the beds will need protection to survive the low temperatures in winter.

The above link is how to cultivate them, and yes you can start now and have flushes late summer/early fall.

I disagree. There's not time to start a new grow from spores and have them fruit this fall. It simply takes too long. Outdoor beds need time to colonize, and you can't start that until you've grown out grain spawn, then transferred to wood chips, and then transferred to outdoor beds. Begin your grow indoors around christmas time, and by last frost, you'll have bags of colonized woodchips/sawdust ready to spawn to prepared woodchip beds. They'll then have plenty of time to colonize the beds for a fall fruiting. RR

True good point. Outdoor beds, mine at least, have taken around 3-4 weeks and maybe longer to show fruits. So I was completely off there. I guess I was thinking about indoors or something. Do what he said. Hes the man.
I still think there is a VERY VERY VERY small chance that you could produce some, but you also risk wasting time.
