Some gourmet edible mushroom species can be hard or impossible to find in stores but can be grown at home. There are lots of different types with different properties that are fun to learn about and try growing. You can improve your technique and setup. It is sort of like gardening but also very different, and can be done in the off season. It’s a hobby for me but I think there’s a lot of depth possible.

I grew some oyster mushrooms from pre spawned compost. I liked watching them and then harvesting them after about 10 days. They went great with pasta, butter, and garlic
Why wouldn't you grow them. They are really tricky but very rewarding. Completely different than growing from seeds. Plus you get mushrooms st the end.

Plenty of mushrooms are common in Asian cuisine, for example, but you can't buy them in Germany at all. So I guess that is somewhat recreational :-)
