I have been growing them here in Japan. I could send you the spawn if you
wish (in return for something I can't get here). I have never heard of
capping them, as has been suggested here. But I agree that they are easy to
grow. We have had some very nice ones already although "officially" we are
supposed to get our first ones next autumn. Basically what they need is
shade, air flow, and humidity. So, if you live in a dry area the thing to
do is to water them regularly. Reuben
