If you want the easiest thing to do, buy this: http://homesteadbook.com/store/product_info.php/cPath/24/products_id/141I LOVE THEM ...& WHERE I LIVE THERES NOT ALOTA FARMS...COULD I MAKE ITHAPPEN??LOL
It takes a couple months, from start to finish, but it doesn't get any easier than that. I use these kits because I enjoy mushroom trips just a couple times a year. I'm not in it to make extra money, so the yield that i get off one of these kits (bout an oz. give or take) is plenty for me my wife and a couple of friends.
Now if you're looking for mass production/perpetual harvest, then you should look into other methods such as PF tek.

It's all realitive to the size of the mushies abd how much they weigh how many you get is determined by that, but an oz can last a while

an ounce lasts me moments, by the time i touch it... i got 5000 people calling me for it.... 2 o's one afternoon... half pound.. usually a week or so... lol... personally though... only about an 1/8 a week is what my brain can handle
do you have a link for this step by step guide to "shroomery"
PF TEK is for those interested in studying the biology of mushrooms, and are not really sure what to expect. It is simple, and you harvest within a month of innoculation. Also, all the materials can be had from any hardware store (rice flour, vermiculite, jars)
The problem is obtaining spores.
The real fun is in the casing techniques and is definitely more enjoyable for the hobbyist.

and like someone mentioned, contamination is the biggest problem. mushrooms begin with mycelium (network of hyphae). The mycelium colonizes substrate (in PF TEK it is the Brown rice flour and verm), and then when introduced to blue light and air begins to form primordia, primodria form the shrooms. The mycelium however is also part of common moulds - it is not a distinct biological feature of "mushrooms". What I am trying to say is, the environment for mycelial growth of magic mushrooms is also the environment for unwated contamination (like bread mould). Once contamination occurs you cannot really save it, especially if its not colonized. You CANNOT eat a contaminated mushroom, it is just plain stupid to do so.
you will need a pressure cooker/autoclave if you want to actually experiment and develop "sterile technique".
when you fruit the mycelium, contamination is not as big of a deal since the mycelium has already got a firm hold on the substrate. Lack of fresh air is usually the biggest problem, and really dirty environment around the mushroom. There are several TEKs on the net that alleviate this problem.

i think shrooms are easier to grow than weed.
