Which mushroom do you recommend?

Amanita virosa... hey, it's almost Halloween! heheheh

Small scale mushroom growing is really not a viable culinary venture...
right up there with raising Sea Monkeys. You'd be far better off
maintaining a selection of dehydrated mushrooms in your larder, and
then purchasing fresh as the various types become available at your
local markets.... otherwise purchasing the common button mushroom is
your best bet as it's always available and very reasonably priced,
especially economical in larger amounts... on Lung Guyland I used to
purchase them at the Latino market in five pound lugs at about $6-$7...
no way could you expect a reliable supply of even miniscule amounts
from a home project. I've bought mushroom growing kits but that turned
out more of a for-fun project, like maintaining an ant farm. If you're
very lucky you will see a few measly looking 'shrooms... those kits are
more of a kiddy science project.

If you're considering a large scale mushroom business be prepared for a
lot of horseshit.

Thanks, Sheldon, You're right. That will make an excellent Christmas
present for a curious young grandson.

So long as he's not curious enough to smoke them.

Of course he's never to young for a peeping tom telescope kit. hehe

I don't think you can plant Boletus.

Hey! Thanks for that link. I've been looking for stuff like that for a
year now. However, he is too young for the peeping Tom kit as he's only 5.

Well, were it possible, I'd grow black Périgord truffles (Tuber
melanosporum), white Alba truffles (Tuber magnatum), cèpes/porcini
(Boletus edulis), European chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius), morels
(Morchella), orange-cap boletus (Boletus aurantiacus), and brown-cap
boletus (Boletus scaber).

Oyster to start.
They eat wood shavings and paper, and are easy to grow.

A good "beginner" mushroom.

I hatch "sea monkeys" (aka Brine Shrimps) to feed my pet Betta. ;-)

Brine water: 1 tsp. sea salt per 1 cup of purified water.

And if you are going to attempt to cultivate Amanita, they are a
symbiont with certain types of conifers, and A. muscaria is better.....

If you want to earn points with Bubba the druggie (aiming for his/her
pants?) you should spell it right - it's Psilocybe Azurescens - as
determined by 0.02 seconds of web searching. Try again bonehead.

It's not surprising that the group would include people who use drugs.
Just as it's not surprising that there are others who think "real life"
and "normal" are defined by legislatures. It takes all kinds. -aem

Psychedelics/Hallucinogens are not addictive...

Do some research please before you shoot off your mouth.

I live right next to a woods that supposedly has some of the best wild
mushroom hunting in the area, or country. I've done it a few times and
easily get the king boletes and one or two others but I don't know
enough to do it adequately so I rarely hunt them. I've tried cooking
and eating the boletes but quite frankly they aren't that great. Would
like to know how to jazz 'em up to taste good. Any thoughts? Other
mushrooms? I'm in SW Washington state so lots of moist cool climate for
them to grow.
