Growing for my first time...

So I am debating the idea of making a summer project out of growing shrooms for the first time and I wanted to start my research early. I have a few questions and I shall number them for easy answering.
1. How time consuming is growing mushrooms? 2. What are some good strains to grow for your first time? 3. Are there any good tutorials with supply lists, procedures, and time tables? 4. Should I buy a kit or make my own? 5. What kind of environments are well-suited for growing shrooms (aka dark and damp, dark and dry, etc)? 6. And lastly, Should I attempt a large batch for my first time?

1. Depends on how much you do but if things go right. The reality is that most of your lost time will be voluntarily spend researching extra stuff. The actual process isn't hugely demanding - its the fact that you quickly get addicted to the process.
2. Any strain is fine really but ecuadors are known as a new grower friendly strain.
3. http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek - lovely illustrated method.
4. Make your own
5. Don't really want damp anywhere but in the terrarium.
6. If you buy a kit you will not be doing a large batch, if you grow your own thats up to you but the jury is out on whether you should. One mistake and your entire batch can be ruined so I would say that a balanced approach of doing successive batches after you're sure things are going right. That is, do a batch, wait for some clear signs of colonization, do more.
