Amazingly you can find all kinds of mushrooms being shipped all over the place on Ebay right now.
You can even get "Aminita Muscaria". This mushroom is the much pictured, pretty red mushroom with little white dots, similar to "Alice and Wonderland", and many, many other cartoons, and pictures. Anyways, Aminita Muscaria is an absolutely crazy hallucinegenic, much more potent than Cubensis or Liberty Caps, and sometimes even deadly. Don't mess with that one.
Ok, Oyster Mushrooms are great, (and legal, and edible). I pick them myself, and have made a variety of dishes with them. I also sell mushrooms occasionally to produce markets, and grocery stores (Mostly Chantrelles, and sometimes Lobsters, Matsutake, and Morels).
I have found that the most successful people selling mushrooms online are doing so obviously with a web site, and are selling the mushrooms in a dried form. If you are hoping to sell fresh, then I would suggest working locally. If not, then yes you will need a web site. You can get free sites at a variety of spots on the web. I know yahoo geocities is one spot.
Well from one mushroom lover to another, I wish you well, and Oh, can you upload some pics of your stash you have gathered?
