I ordered a wine cap mushroom starter kit (inoculated wood chips) a couple of days ago with the intention of placing them in my black walnut ditch. Any tips on placement? I've got forest edge, deep canopy, and seasonal creek environments. Who has had success with what? I mean, seasonal creek is probably out for obvious reasons, but close to it? Stay completely away from it? I want to increase my chances of success on this experiment.

For placement I'd go with the forest edge over deep canopy — wine caps seem to do better with some dappled light rather than full shade. Near the seasonal creek is probably fine as long as it's not somewhere that actually floods and sits waterlogged. The moisture from being close to it is more of a benefit than a problem in most cases.
 
Can you hear that? That's my theme music. I don't know where it comes from. Check under this tiny ad:
