I've tried various of the spawn kits from Fungi Perfecti. I had really good luck with the Garden Giant Stropharia and the shitakes, useful quantities for a number of years. I also had good luck growing the shaggy manes, but finally gave up eating them last year because I could NEVER get the sand and grit out of them, no matter how hard I tried, I actually think in my sandy soil they kind of absorb sand particles as they grow and encapsulate them right in the flesh.

I had moderate to no success with some of the others, oysters, hen of the woods, sulfur shelf, lions mane.

Fun project to experiment with.
