Agaricus bisporus, (the common button mushroom) is a good one to go after once you've grown cubensis.

And I can use the same methods as the Psilocybe cubensis?

It depends on how you did it.
If you did PF cakes, you will need to learn how to do a casing. Agaricus bisporus pretty much requires that you case them. They are a little harder to grow than cubensis once you get to the casing/fruiting stage.
50/50+ (verm/peat) is a good casing layer for them.

Sure enough. Do a search for "agaricus bisporus" on this forum. There are a few grow logs to be found.

You're not likely to get a decent flush from agaricus bisporus without a good source of compost and a refrigerated greenhouse. It grows nothing like cubensis.
An easy edible to grow would be Lion's Mane, or oyster mushrooms. Both will grow on straw or sawdust, and are very easy. If your house is warm, I'd suggest lion's mane or H ulmarius, the elm oyster. RR

Would you mind posting those parameters?
I've grown it in the same conditions I've grown cubes - on coir/coffee/chicken manure and fruiting at room temp.... They weren't spectacular flushes, but they weren't horrible - and I didn't really try that hard.
The sites I've found say 16-18 * C for fruiting, being 60-64*F...
EDIT: Is it just plain IMPOSSIBLE to get them to grow on BRF?
