i have ordered the things i need and i have some cultures on the way, once they get here i will post a thread about how i do it, which is just one of many ways to go about it. maybe others will post their ways of doing things and we can get a few more folks into the hobby.
there are several species that will grow using basically the same methods, at least the grain part anyway. the process for growing reishi is about the same, only with wood chips or sawdust instead of straw. pretty much once you learn how to grow one most of that knowledge can be transferred to other varieties. Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets is a good read that has lots of info on a wide range of mushrooms and their specific needs and fruiting parameters, you might be able to find it at a local library or used online pretty cheap
