They are similar to portabellas, from what I understand, and grow in shade. You just have to make a bed of new materials for them to grow in. They eat new wood only, so no chips over a few months old, and you'll need fresh straw if you go that route.


Akula, they will grow underneath your banana canopy, but they may languish in the Florida heat. If you're up north, they will probably flush in the spring and fall, and go dormant during the heat of summer, as they don't like temps over the eighties or so.
