I received some mushroom cultivation textbooks today. I'm really excited, to eventually, read them and grow some culinary/medicinal shrooms.
I was really into that years ago (not just cultivation but picking wild mushrooms and mycology in general... yes, self taught but basically college level) Some are easy to grow, some are tricky (kinda like RTAs

) the more common ones you can just buy kits (it's very much like homebrew beer and DIY juices) They can be very delicious. I lived in the mountains (at 5000 ft) and we got wild Morels... so good (best mushrooms I have ever tasted)
I had so much fun with friends... picking mushrooms from lawns, parks, ect and watching the reaction from other people... "Oh my god, you are going to die" ect (believe me, I was a freakin expert... shape, habitat, look-alikes, slice open and study stem, gills, everything... even spore prints!) Don't get me wrong... if you don't know what you are doing, they can be very dangerous.
Did I mention the wild Morels taste so good! I miss them... they don't gown down here in the city.
PM me if you are interested in growing mushrooms
