I've grown Reishi from a kit - indoors though - and got some nice mushrooms and a big bag of spores from it. Friends of mine also dropped off an inoculated log here two years ago after helping another friend to set up a bunch of them - don't know whether it was oyster or ★★★★ake but got nothing so far, not sure how the other guy did.
Any tips on ★★★★ake would be interesting, it's a favourite but doesn't grow in these parts.
We do have a good variety of wild edibles here, and I enjoy the hunt as much as the food...
