I recommend speaking with Jacob and Sarah, or Thomas Aulich of Salt Spring Sprouts and Mushrooms. Find them at the Tuesday and Saturday Markets on Salt Spring Island. I’ve also included their contact info below. I’ve found them to be incredibly knowledgeable, and helpful. They’ve been a great resource to learn about mushroom growing. I am a big fan of their amazing lions mane and Oyster mushrooms as well as their sprout wraps that they sell at the Tuesday and Saturday Markets.

They also sell bags of Mushroom Spawn to people interested in growing their own mushrooms. Start with Oyster Mushrooms as they are one of the easiest mushrooms to grow. Last time I checked, it was very affordable, with bags of mushroom spawn starting at about $25.
