anyone here grow mushrooms?

9. thank you.

the plan is this- get up and running and have a secure food source to the max extent possible before DH retires, which is in 14 years. i want to grow as much of the food i eat as humanly possible.
after that, if i have more than i need i have 2 choices-
hopefully the little pieces of paper that we are counting on turn out to really be money, my family and their families also have food security. after that, i hope to donate excess to local food banks.
or, either we need the money or the diversion of a small business and try to do a small scale fresh market type thing. as it stands now i can pretty much probably just sell to my neighbors, but who knows what my neighborhood will be like if our little pieces of paper turn out to be worthless.
i joke about this being the plan to survive the apocalypse, but my tongue is not completely planted in my cheek.

again, thanks for all the info. if nothing else i have a couple damp, shady spots to grow some interesting plants.
