I want to grow some medicinal shrooms, but I'm having trouble finding where to get started. I've grown some cubes just fine. Which shrooms are medicinal and easy to grow?

i believe lions mane, shitake, and miatake would be a very good lineup.
lions mane and miatake i having colinizing WBS. But i havn't tryed fruiting them off of it yet but i will find out soon i get the feeling they will do just fine.
Miatake i feel is a must have, it is just SO EASY its stupid. the strain i got from sporeworks will dam near colinize water....well i change that it DID.
i had condensation on the sides and bottom of my lid...it turned the side of my jar white, and when i took the lid off all i seen was white with a little small hole from where my injection site was.
its wicked fast at colinizing but you have to wait like 3-4 weeks for it to turn brown and start to fruit.
as for lions mane its a little slow at "first" but in the end it was just as fast as them all.
reishi is another good one but i think its kinda like the miatake mushroom in that you have to wait alittle bit before it will fruit. (think tea with this one as far as its use) as its to hard to eat you'll have to grind it.
p.s. i hear miatake is a good alturnitive to bacon when overcooked.

Reishi are very forgiving--nearly omniverous. Oysters are quite aggressive, too.
Play around and don't worry if a batch goes bad--hopefully you've got an LC culture waiting to inoculate another batch of grain jars. Everybody fucks up at least once. 
Make a glovebox from a rubbermaid if you haven't.
