Nope it's super cheap and takes up less space than plants. All you need is sawdust pellets, wild bird seed, glass jars, a pressure cooker, and a plastic bag.

Mushroom cultivator here. The procedure is that you make "grain spawn" (mycelium-colonized grains) as a way to quickly propagate mycelium. Then you use the grain spawn to inoculate larger bags of less nutritious bulk substrate for fruiting. Nobody fruits from grain, especially not commercially, because it would be a preposterous waste of money. White button mushrooms and portabellas are fruited in a sterilized compost/manure mixture. Yes it's cow shit and yes it's also literally clean enough to eat. You should wash mushrooms when they've been in the grocery store because people coughed on them, not because of the shit.

The guy in that farm was growing oyster mushrooms. They eat sawdust, but portobello mushrooms eat manure.
