I've been on the receiving end of Mushroom Management - Feed'em shit and keep them in the dark.

Never tried growing them. There should be plenty of videos on the subject on YT.

I’ve tried it didn’t go well I might give it another try in spring

We have done Lions' Mane, and Oyster using kits from North Spore (northspore.com). We have grown Wine Caps free-range in the garden. We altered a common method of laying wood shavings down and then adding spore to that.

We're going to try again this year, and j will post the methods we try and results thereof.

I can recommend a few books that helped me

• Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms - Paul Stamets
• The Essential Guide to Cultivating Mushrooms - Stephen Russell
• Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation - Tradd Cotter

I've grown mushrooms at home. It's a bit tedious at times, but not that difficult. Check put shroomery.org for good info. Yes, a lot of what they have there is directed towards psilocybins, but it applies to gourmet, and medicinal ones too. The most difficult part was creating a sterile space for blending the mycelium with whatever I was growing it in.
