Did you have to pasteurize the straw before adding the straw onto the existing patch?
I was thinking about starting propagating more King stropharia spawn indoors on alder wood chips, keep dividing them into more containers, and then dump them outside over time.
Figure that would be a good way to keep my outdoor patch strong. Keep feeding it with new spawn grown indoors all year round.
