oh, absolutely, it wasn’t a ding against growing them in my book–the chips become humus that much faster, so it makes a great fertilization regimen, but it IS something to be aware of I suppose–a chip bed that might last 3-5 years if you let nature colonize it at its own pace will last half that if you deliberately inoculate and it grows well.
On the other hand, it will give you more organic material, and tasty mushrooms. Almost everyone has a couple mushrooms they prefer to them (maitake, shiitake, hericium, morels, for example), but generally stropharia remain pretty highly regarded, especially if you eat them at button or near-button stages. and they can make buttons almost the size of a baseball under favorable conditions.
As a side note, you could grow brick tops, oysters, honey mushrooms, etc. in wood chips too, theoretically, but they are aggressive enough to potentially enter the tree itself and kill it–I certainly wouldn’t try. And there are mushrooms which grow well on straw, etc. that don’t do as well on wood chips, like shaggymanes. But Stropharia are unique in being extremely easy to grow, favoring wood chips, and not being aggressive enough to attack living trees.
