Growing your own mushrooms is relatively straight forward and very rewarding. There is a huge difference in taste between fresh home grown mushrooms and the supermarket bought varieties. These mushroom kits and spores are available to buy online and delivered to your door.
If you are a beginner I recommend using the easier mushroom grow kits. For the more advanced try the new spawns available, see below.

Mushroom Plug Spawn Dowels for Logs

Chicken of the Woods - Laetiporus sulphureus Chicken of the Woods - Laetiporus sulphureus
Polyporus sulphureus, ''Chicken of the Woods'', grows on a variety of hardwoods and softwoods throughout much of North America & the UK. Stumps, rather than cut logs, are the recommended site for plugging.
Pack of approx 100 impregnated plug spawn dowells, includes full instructions.
Maitake or Hen of the Woods - Grifola frondosa Maitake or Hen of the Woods - Grifola frondosa
Grifola frondosa grows prolifically on oaks throughout the temperate regions of eastern North America and throughout the UK. Mycelium is whitish in colour. Only hardwood stumps or partially-buried logs should be inoculated.

Pearl Oyster - Pleurotus ostreatus Pearl Oyster - Pleurotus ostreatus
Pleurotus ostreatus is probably the most common edible mushroom found on hardwoods. Mycelium is white in colour. 
Growing on alder, poplar, oak, birch, beech, and many other hardwoods, our aggressive strains are renowned for their productivity. Stumps or logs can be inoculated.
Reishi or Ling Chi - Ganoderma lucidum Reishi or Ling Chi - Ganoderma lucidum
Known by the Japanese as Reishi and by the Chinese as Ling Chi, this species produces a flat, shelf-like mushroom with a smooth, lacquered finish. Mycelium is whitish in colour, browning with age. Plug spawn of this species should be inoculated into hardwood stumps or partially-buried logs.
Reputed to have immune stimulating properties by both the Chinese and Japanese, this unusual mushroom is fascinating to watch as it develops. Ganoderma lucidum has long been used in teas.
Shiitake - Lentinula edodes Shiitake - Lentinula edodes
Shiitake mushrooms have been hailed for both their culinary and medicinal benefits in Japan and other parts of Asia for hundreds of years, and their popularity worldwide increases every year. Found primarily on thicker-barked hardwoods like oak, they also do well on ''scrub'' hardwoods like alder.
Mycelium is whitish in colour, becoming brown with age. Either stumps or logs can be inoculated. When properly cared for, our hardy strain of Shiitake will begin to fruit in as little as 6 months, with the most substantial fruitings appearing 1 year from inoculation.
The Conifer Coral Mushroom - Hericium abietis The Conifer Coral Mushroom - Hericium abietis
Hericium abietis grows exclusively on conifers and is very similar in appearance to Hericium erinaceus.
Native to western North America, the Conifer Coral Mushroom has a delicate and pleasant flavor. Stumps or partially buried, horizontally-oriented logs are recommended for inoculation. Have a pile of old leylandii logs around??
The Lion's Mane Mushroom - Hericium erinaceus The Lion's Mane Mushroom - Hericium erinaceus
Hericium erinaceus grows primarily on hardwoods, though conifers can also be used with some success. Either logs or stumps can be inoculated. Mycelium is whitish in colour. The spawn plugs should be inserted into the open face of cut wood. This eminently edible mushroom species is ideal for inoculation into stumps or partially buried logs.
Hericium erinaceus is widely distributed on hardwoods, particularly oaks, and can be found naturally across much of North America and in the UK. These are beautiful mushrooms, with cascading white icicle-like spines, and are some of the best of the edible fungi.
The Phoenix Fir Oyster - Pleurotus pulmonarius The Phoenix Fir Oyster - Pleurotus pulmonarius
This member of the Tree Oyster family thrives on conifer stumps and logs, especially spruces and fir. Mycelium is whitish in colour, producing white-beige mushrooms. Very easy to grow this one.
