There's a good book about growing mushrooms that may be helpful to you - Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets. Lots of practical and interesting information, as well as plenty of photos.

Follow the PF Tek until you have substrate cakes completely covered with mycelium. Then plant the cakes in loose soil. You'll have better yields indoors where you can do things like cold dunking. http://dougsko.com/pftek.pdf

Quick Guide

I posted a step-by-step guide for growing shiitake and oyster mushrooms inside that might be helpful and probably can be adapted for outdoors if you've got the space.

I hope it helps.

To grow mushrooms, you buy the “spawn.” (Spawn. That’s nice. Can I have a 2nd helping, please?) You can get kits that include the substrate (for example, a log). In these cases, you simply apply the spawn to the growing surface and put it in the correct environment (damp, dark, and cool–no more than 68 degrees F). If you buy a kit with a log, the log may have pre-drilled holes and you insert dowel rods that have the spawn on them. (This is just gross, how can people eat this stuff, really.)

Step
2Use a home vaporizer to provide humidity. These devices are portable, electric and work from a reservoir of water. 95% humidity is necessary for mushrooms to develop.

Step
3Place a small electric fan in the growth room to circulate the air. Unless mushrooms get the necessary air circulation, the chance of fungus disease is increased.

Step
4Place a fluorescent light a few feet over the growing tables. Indirect sunlight is also an excellent alternative. No direct sun, please.

Step
5Place clean wheat straw that has been cut into 3 inch pieces into clean cotton pillow cases. Soak the straw-filled pillow cases in hot water.

Step
6Wipe down work areas and wash all surfaces and equipment with a 10% bleach solution as the straw bags soak.

Step
7Remove the straw filled bags from the hot water bath and allow to drain in a clean sink for several hours.

Step
8Remove the damp straw from the pillow cases and transfer to clean, clear plastic bags.

Step
9Add mushroom spawn (purchased from a reputable supplier) to the straw filled plastic bags. Close the bag and shake vigorously to incorporate the spawn throughout the growing medium.

Step
10Pack the straw down inside the bags as tightly as possible to create a brick, or block. Once the block has been formed, seal the bag tightly.

Step
11Puncture the plastic bag 25 - 50 times with a sterilized nail to allow air to penetrate. The nail should be sterilized with the bleach solution between puncturing each individual block.

Step
12Place the prepared blocks in total darkness, or cover loosely with black garbage bags. The temperature in the growing room should be set at 68 degrees. The fan should be running and the vaporizer activated.

Step
13Remove the light-inhibiting garbage bags and open the clear plastic bags after two weeks. Reduce the temperature of the bags by placing them on the floor.

Step
14Carefully remove the clear plastic bags when you begin to see small bumpy growth appear on the blocks. The warts will soon develop into hundreds of button mushrooms! Harvest and enjoy!
