   Finally got my spawn from Fungi Perfecti...I only ordered it the on 'Black   
   Friday'...guess some of these things take time...   
   Blewitts are aged enough that I may procede... We went through a cold stage   
   [teens at night and thirties during the day]...*&$^@$#+...back to forties   
   and seventies now so I'd best get this done.   
   In review, the 'Lepista nuda' base is shredded oak chips, inside is a   
   combination of mostly oak leaves with a few grass clippings thrown in with   
   the spawn and all covered up with more oak chips and a layer of shredded oak   
   leaves. I'd like to cover with burlap, but since it is not available I will   
   recycle some cardboard [no color ink] to retain moisture. In SC when the   
   winter rains are not here, it is dry, dry, dry.   
   Pioppino spawn will not be ready to go until Jan 1, so depending  on the   
   weather, I may try an initial indoor fruiting before I innoculate the   
   outdoor beds...   
   More on the Shiitake and Chicken of the Woods plug spawn to follow
