hey I have a culture of button mushroom atm that is ready to be innoc to grain but I was wondering if the edible mushroom that we grow at home taste better than store bought one ?? I know that it is true for vegetable because they a grown kinda bio at home, but what about the mushroom ? does it realy worth it to grow them or it will be the same same thing as store one ?

I can't speak for Agaricus bisporus (button mushroom) because I've never grown that kind, but I do find that my home grown enokis, oysters, and king oysters have a nicer taste than store bought ones.
Personally, I'm reluctant to grow A. bisporus because I do not fancy working with manure indoors and nutritionally/flavour/medicinally-wise, these mushrooms do not offer much.
--------------------
I am looking for the following edible cultures:
- Chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus)
- Wood blewit (Lepista nuda)
- Cauliflower (Sparassis crispa)
My trade list of available cultures is in my Journal.

Buttons are a pain in the ass to grow... and they will have just as much taste as those that you buy from the store, especially if its a cloned specimen. If your just starting cultivating edible mushrooms go with oyster mushrooms. Sporework's blue oyster is killer, I highly recommend it.

Probably will taste better, commercial growers try to get as high a water content in the mushrooms that they grow, because they sell by weight. Less water equals more flavor. Also you'll be getting fresher mushrooms if you grow them and harvest and use them quickly.

i think it mostly has to do with the strain or contaminants, the strains that are floating around here grow slower than snails or don't grow at all. and im not sure how hard it is to fruit them, im guessing they are a tad on the harder side, definitaly not your oysters.

Painful because: They need casing to get a good crop and because they are secondary decomposers you need to make compost for them to grow on. Oysters being primary decomposers will grow on just about any celluslostic/lignin material.

I have found that If you take your spent substrate bags outside and bury them in a wood chip pile, the mushrooms that fruit from that pile will have more flavour because they have benifited from more minerals and atmospherical conditions that cannot recreate indoors.
I highly recommend trying to get reuse your spent substrate in an outdoor bed. Also if you get a little contamination in a jar dont throw it out, sprinkle it in your woodchip bed and cover with wood chips then some wet cardboard
