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
