Thanks, Tyler. That sounds like a pretty sweet setup. Mine is outside in Western NC so I'll have to insulate and heat in the winter. Was considering a small mini split for that. And maybe a couple layers of rigid foam board would be effective enough. I don't know if I want wet moldy fiberglass or not.

And I'll need some exterior facing - was thinking sheet metal for siding and roofing bc Its inexpensive but doesn't look bad. (Was considering getting a shipping container but my wife wants it to look nice.) How did you attach the studs to the slab? 

Ganoderma multipileum - I had the same question

Been hoping for a Gf plate from the culture club too. I stole a Phillips Gourmet maitake culture from Earthfare also. Have some fully colonized bags after about a month and a half but no sign of fruits yet. It has been pretty cold in my colony room though. 

Also looking forward to a maitake video!
