Other mushrooms that utilize similar techniques.

I've done my fair share of growing from quart jars, SGFC, monos and buckets, very experienced with rye berries, but willing to branch out to necessary substrates that utilize quart or half-gallon jars, and similar fruiting conditions to provide the locals with edible/medicinal mushrooms. It would be easier for me to maintain proper conditions in a grow tent then to utilize an entire room for giant oyster logs or along the like, I'm not trying to make a shit load of money, just supply some local restaurants, vegetarians and possibly cancer patients (I have a family member with cancer).
What would be some ideal species that are tasty/medicinal and utilize similar techniques used for active mushrooms. Thanks to all of you amazing people in advance.

I have successfully fruited shiitake, reishi, lions mane, velvet pioppino/black poplar, and 2 varieties of oyster off simple PF tek style cakes (with a few minor additions). This was using a simple closed sterlite tote with perlite, with misting and fanning for FAE. (SGFC's dont work too well in my local single digit humidity).
Admittedly they werent always the prettiest of mushrooms, but they were fruits none the less. I supplemented the recipe with some sawdust and/or broken up toothpick pieces (I dont recall how much off the top of my head), but other than that it was the same as any other. Wide mouth half pints, brown rice flour, vermiculite, "sterilized" in a stove top steam bath. I used liquid cultures for inoculation.

The techniques for pretty much all mushrooms is the same. Start with a good culture, produce some clean spawn (be it grain or sawdust or whatever) then spawn to a bulk substrate (hpoo, wood chips, compost, etc) and fruit. Some things can fruit right out of the spawn bag (Oysters) and some need to be spawned to a lot more substrate or outside (Wine caps).
It's a matter of keeping temps right.
I really suggest you start with Oysters of some type. Drill yourself a bucket, do some bags or straw logs or a laundry basket or whatever.

Awesome thanks folks, I'll look into these furthur, oysters have really been catching my eye, I think I'll utilize a bunch of buckets, as that is what I have done in the past and know what to expect. So a simple colonize spawn to bulk buckets should suffice?
