First of all, congratulations on your new son!! (although he must be almost one by now).
I really enjoyed reading your post.
I grow mushrooms as a hobby but I've always had the dream of making it more than just a hobby.
It's really inspiring to see stories like yours.
Best of lucks with your new property. I'll be following not to miss part 2.
Cheers!

Thank you. Mushrooms is something I've wanted to get into for some time now. Considering trying to do it over winter in our unheated caterpillar tunnel. Maybe some variety of cold-hardy oysters. Any advice?

Definitely start with oysters, they're very resilient and grow quite fast. Pink oysters do well at lower temperatues and are super easy to sell because they're really easy.
I've never tried growing shiitakes in logs but it seems pretty low tech and easy.
Good luck!
