I hope you've read the rules before you go to much farther.
Theres " strain " discussion thread above stickied I believe.
If you're asking where to get them, we have a sponsor forum, plenty of information there.
Read, Read, and Read.
Beginners usually go for Cakes ( PF TEK )
Theres ample knowledge here, you can find it using the
SEARCH FEATURE.
If you decide against this advice, you'll find yourself with a grumpy NotAHacker in the thread.
You've been warned.

Have Fun

following that, which species is best? I understand that in order to grow mushrooms I need mushroom spores.

what i would like to know is, what species are just as easy as cubes to grow on brown rice flour/vermiculite, but are more potent?
There are none. Cubes are the easiest mushroom to grow. RR
Cubes are generally all the same, some show a few select genetics and are made possible over time isolating those genes through clean work and procedures.
Pick something thats most appealing to your psychi, Oh THAT SOUNDS COOL!
It doesent make much difference on which name you choose, but what will make a big difference is how much you read and how prepared you become BEFORE you begin.
Your success starts with knowledge...
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
Im going to work.

Yes, it does:

Inoculation
Once the jars are cooled down put them in a draft free room along with the 70% Iso,Lighter,spore syringe . Make sure the rooms windows are shut and AC or heater turned off. Wash your hands and arms really good. Now put of the gloves and mask Take the foil lids off the jars you won’t need them anymore. Now rub your hand down with the 70% ISO wait a few seconds for it to evaporate. Now shake the syringe really well, using the lighter heat the needle of the syringe till its red hot now proceed to inoculate the jars using a 1/4 cc of solution per hole inoculating towards the glass. That’s 1 cc per jar. After every jar heat the needle back till its red hot and repeat.

So one typical syringe would be enough for roughly 10 or less cakes? I would more than likely on be doing 5 cakes my first try.

It can actually do more than 10 jars, since you only need a couple drops per hole while inoculating.
