Could you recommend any types of mushrooms you'd recommend for home cultivation and online sources for blocks? Already grow vegetables and it would be great to add mushrooms to the mix. Also are there any communities you'd recommend that share good advice?

I have found that pink oysters are absolutely impossible to fail to grow in a wide variety of conditions, very robust to storage and handling, and very good to eat. They are very hearty little mushrooms (or big mushrooms sometimes!) I honestly have no idea why pink oysters are not sold in grocery stores or used in more dishes, they are very cheap to grow and add interesting color.

lions mane and oyster are both great for home cultivation. if you look for a local mushroom farm in your area you can likely buy blocks from them. I've purchased blocks from Fat Moon Farms and had good success with them growing several pounds of mushrooms from a single block. https://fatmoonmushrooms.com/

there are a variety of mushroom/mycology related subreddits and Southwest Mushrooms on youtube has alot of informative well produced video content https://www.youtube.com/c/SouthwestMushrooms
