Growing mushrooms

[Patchouli]

Let’s start a thread on growing mushrooms, mostly for food or medicinal. I bought a kit from Walmart.
Some of us might be situated by a wooded area to harvest wild growth mushrooms.
Or situated to purchase everything needed to get some started.
If you grow mushrooms please share your information.
@MoBookworm1957 you mentioned mushrooms in garden 2024 thread.

I have grown some mushrooms from my own logs i cut and inoculated with spore from this place https://www.fieldforest.net/ and some from e-bay too.

I have grown shiitake,blue dolphins and one lions mane...it was least productive.

edit...i tried chicken of the woods but it was 100% failure.

years back i tried growing some mushrooms from a kit--pretty sure they were just button mushrooms. grew them in a bucket in closet---terrific yields. , i was really surprised. i think i dehydrated most of them, . totally forgot aobut doing that---thanks for this thread and reminder. i think i will try that again, it was simple enough i can still do that.

I have a kit I haven't started yet. They're pink. Our son in NM is working with a mushroom growing place to get their discard substrate and he's doing fertilizer experiments with it, thinking about selling his end product.
