I gave a talk on outdoor mushroom cultivation this spring and gave everyone wine cap spawn to inoculate their gardens. Had an extra bag and was able to do a bed of my own. I was really impressed with how vigorous the mycelium was compared to growing other oyster species outdoors.
I will say these had a really strong flavour that was not my favorite. I left them longer than I wanted to so I could get a spore print to show my mushroom club so could have been better had I picked them younger
