If you have hardwood logs or stumps, it's easy to grow mushrooms on them. Many places sell wooden dowels inoculated with mushroom spores, which you insert in holes you've drilled in the wood.

Nice selection. I was looking at Vivosun tents for plants, but at .46 to .49 per Kilowatt I'm just sticking to the sun. California/PG&E electricity pricing above a survival baseline.
For now, I get Lions Mane at the farmers market at $5 per .4 pounds.
So cannabis and mushrooms like the same environment. Could you growing them together? I read somewhere that mushroom grown in the dark have less nutrients.
"Mushrooms are not the only fungi that enjoy warm, humid conditions. Mold and other bacteria also thrive in the conditions you create for your mushrooms."
That's the primary reason they can't be grown together. Another is mushrooms want CO2 under 1000 ppm, while marijuana wants CO2 around 1600 ppm. 50-75F for mushrooms, 75-85F for marijuana. Low light for mushrooms, intensely bright light for marijuana.
So, not ideal to grow together. Either or both can be grown at home relatively easily.

So versatile.
Too bad they emit 178,98734 times more CO2 than allowed.

$0.50/KW is insane. I'm angry about paying $0.17 here in Atlantic Canada.
