mushroom cultivation

hello Sir
Mushrooms are a high value crop, and consumer demand has markedly increased in recent years.
Mushrooms are a viable option for the small-scale grower.
Button and oyster mushrooms are the easiest to grow, and can be integrated into an existing garden facility or on their own "substrates" (specialized growing medium), making them the best candidate for small-scale commercial production.
Shitakes grow on decomposing hardwood (typically oak), which will involve saws and safety equipment, or at least sufficient space for synthetic or prepared logs. In general, shitakes require more attention to environmentally appropriate strains and timed irrigation than button or oyster mushrooms, but none of these will incur the same costs as other commercially grown edible fungi, such as maitake (hen-of-the-woods), morels and truffles.
