considering growing mushrooms

I am always looking for challenging hobbies and I think cultivating mushrooms would be very interesting and fun. I have experience growing weed, and I would like to be able to produce my own personal stash of mushies for my pleasure. For you pros out there, is there a certain technique or style you would recommend, just point me in the direction of where I should take this. Would buying a kit online be a good idea? I've looked at a couple sites and it seems reasonable.
Can someone briefly explain mushroom cultivation??...I'm not sure where to start and where I'm gonna go. How difficult would you say it is compared to growing weed?? What are the hardest parts??

We have a "mushroom cultivation" forum here. Your first task is to look there.
Also check out the archives, the questions pertaining to how n00b cultivators should get started are all answered there.
It's rather easy, really. I had no fucking clue at first, but now I can whip up PF cakes as though I was making a snack... it's that easy.

I'm a bit paraniod, but my 2 cents would be to not post grow logs and all that kind of stuff on here. And don't tell anyone in real life either.

ya domite thats the golden rule to cultivating anything thats illegal.
I read up on the PF-Tek...looks good, simple, straight forward.
Where should i go about buying spores? Best sites? Around how much will this cost?

Answering questions like these is not a good idea. You have come to the shroomery and all the places to look are at your fingertips, all you need to do is look around. I suggest browsing the cultivation forums, oh yea and if its illegal to cultivate in your area i suggest you dont do it

Check out the shroomery vendors - you can't go wrong with them. 
The PF tek is very easy. I did it without even trying and was successful.

Be sure to give hunting a shot. I gave up cultivating as I had no real need to. It's a hell of a lot more satisfying to stumble across gourmet and active shrooms in the wild than growing them in your home

my opinion is to become familar with the double tub theory and if u think u can handle it skip the cake period all together(I'm also sure u could actually use a double tub with perlite to produce the perfect environment)
there is a faq for it and a big thread that I posted a lot of shit in archived as well

it is challenging your gonna get what your looking for...I've always said anyone can grow a shroom but to produce perfect pinsets/flushes consistently is difficult...the double tub helps with consistency a lot because of the way it creates a virtually sterile environment for the cost of a couple tubs some duct tape and polyfil
growing weed outdoors is A LOT easier then shrooms but I can't speak about hydroponics...but either way I think you'll find what your looking for in mycology

Outdoor cultivation is where it's at 
Growing mushrooms that aren't indigenous to your country in your local woods certainly gives me a kick! They come back year after year, often sporulating to new locations

I'm talking Psilocybe azurescens & cyanescens here 
They fruit in my woods every year now. Shame they don't agree with me but pretty to look at
