| Paul Stamets' books are a great place to learn about mushrooms and give instructions on growing the most commonly used species. I was given the entire collection of Stamets' books for Christmas and I have enjoyed all of them immensely. Take a look for used copys because they should not be difficult to find. Fungi perfect is the name of the website of the authors and has lots of info. |

| I posted a write-up of how to grow shiitake and oyster mushrooms indoors that might be rather helpful and could probably be adapted for outside as well if you had the space. It also explains how to inoculate your own logs (I just don't have the space to do so, or logs), and provides links to places that sell all different types of spores and kits. So far I'm having pretty good success with oyster (on toilet paper) and shiitake (on a log) inside. |
