"For species successionism of friendly fungi in the garden, we recommend using these three garden allies: in concert, the Garden Oyster (Hypsizygus ulmarius), the Garden Giant (Stropharia rugoso-annulata) and the Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus). They can be placed in the garden for the benefit of vegetables and for improving soil quality. And, gourmet mushrooms flourish throughout the seasons to create the best of edible landscapes!"

Hypsizygus ulmarius looks quite different as you can see in this link

It's edible, but by far not amongst the best mushrooms i tried

For the Garden Mushrooms, I was going to do something similar to this image
Hopefully I can store them in the dark garage for 45 days instead of 20.. Oh I really don't know what I should do. I wont really be ready to put them into my beds for another 45 days. I messed the whole "Live Item" and "no in door flushing first".
I am waiting at least 4 weeks to insert my Plugs (into the stump and logs) so the food anti-fungal cycle ends.
