Yes, read, read, read. There is already a lot of information here, try to learn for yourself some basics, what you will need, what you should do, and if you get any questions, ask them here.
But basically, you will need a starter culture, which you can obtain from a sponsor, buy spawn locally, or clone store-bought mushrooms, inoculate grain with it, spawn to composted manure/straw and case with peat-based layer. I have no idea what's your level of experience with mushroom cultivation, this may all sound like gibberish. In that case, you have a lot of reading to do.
Agaricus are not easy to grow, they should preferably be fruited outdoors.

Quite true, not a beginner species. Oysters make a great first edible. :thumbup:

Button mushrooms/agaricus grows best on composted substrates.  If you have a compost pile, use it, or build one with straw and manure.  Once you have compost, pasteurize and spawn.

To tell you the truth, I don't think oysters are as easy to grow as they are always portrayed to be. Yeah, they'll grow on almost anything and will fruit in any conditions, but if you want a meal you'll have to provide huge amounts of light and air. Oysters are awesome for outdoor grows, especially to inoculate stumps. I had several failed indoor attempts and successful outdoor grows, and I can tel you, the difference is enormous.
Now I found that shiitake is my new favorite, it's very easy to grow indoors, if you have sawdust and patience. Yeah, it takes several months to "mature", but it's well worth it, you can grow king oysters in the mean time! :cool:

Oh, and I forgot to say a very important thing with Agaricus, you should always mix some manure or compost in your grain spawn jars, it seems to really help with growth. Recently I've seen several people getting no growth on grain shot up with A. bitorquis LC, and I have significant growth in my manure/millet jars after only 3 days.
