Pine isn't something fungus usually eats.

You don't. Wood-loving Mushroom species grow on just about any variety of hard wood sawdust you can find. Alder and Beech are the most common but are expensive, Any variety of oak will do. Just google hard wood trees to find hard wood trees native to your region.
Inoculate agar with the spores, make the necessary amount of transfers until the culture appears clean, and transfer clean culture into sterilized grain jars. Colonize your wood chips, in bags, indoors by inoculating them with the fully colonized grain spawn before you plant your mycelium outdoors. You'r going to want the myce colonized through the wood before you plant it outdoors because vermin don't generally make a meal out of colonized wood chips as fast as they would colonized grain spawn.

Pine and other conifers, if rendered to sawdust and left in the sun to age for a year will work fine. I'm growing shiitake on a combination of Douglas fir, alder, and lodgepole pine, and getting 100% B.E. on first flush, and then plenty more after that when the blocks are moved outdoors along the creek bed.

I believe RR mentioned that soft wood, when properly weathered to remove the sap/resins are useful as a partial substrate for wood loving mushrooms.
Beat me to it.
I have seen grows use pine. It is not ideal, but it does work, and it could work well when supplemented. And, if it is free, it will work better than nothing.
To prep the pine, spread the chips out in the sun for a month to evaporate the resins and break down the sap, which are antimicrobial. That will give you time to make your spawn.
Dr. Inoc has great advice.
