Okay so we picked up the bricks from Far West Fungi in CA and then my mycology friend told me to soak the bricks in a solution of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 10 parts water. This obviously moisturized the bricks and gave them oxygen. Then I laid out a thick layer of wood chips just over regular (kind of crappy) soil and then put cardboard on top then laid the soaked bricks on there and then made a sort of tent over them. I used a mesh-like cover and then just watered them every day or so and they grew. :)
