King Oyster Mushroom: Can they be naturalized?

I'm wondering if Pleurotus eryngii (King Oyster Mushroom) can be grown naturally outdoors. I live on a site that is conducive to growing mushrooms. I inoculated Shitake logs this spring.

I then started a King Oyster spawn culture using stem butts.To my surprise it has really taken off. I would like to know if I could inoculate and grow these mushrooms outdoors in natural surroundings.

I would inoculate decomposing wood chips, coffee grounds, cardboard..etc( or whatever is best) placed in framed raised bed style plots.

Does anyone know if this would be possible? Will it survive freezing temps?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
