I definitely have to start grow mushroom.
Wait, you grow acacia species? How's that been going?
growing acacia trees has never been a viable option for me, but I have always thought about it. Acacia species are quite large, and often must be kept alive for quite a while before any viable harvest can be made, and with many species it is the root-bark which is harvested, meaning you would have to spend years upon years growing the tree just to kill it...
I also cultivate several cacti species, mostly trichocereus and lophophora.
I cultivate morning glorys, but Argyreia Nervosa has never been one of my "regulars", it's better as far as lysergamide yields per seed harvest, but it also comes with a mess of downsides that makes Ipomoea violacea or Ipomoea tricolor the more suitable choice for urban cultivation. When it comes to Argyreia Nervosa I find it's easier to purchase the seeds in bulk from a supplier.
What solanaceous species do you cultivate? I cultivate Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum tuberosum, you can even graft the two plants together so one is producing for you above ground while the other produces below. ...but I am guessing these are not the solanaceous plants which you have interest in, no? I'm guessing your interest is in Datura stramonium and other natural species, maybe Hyoscyamus niger or brugmansia, right?
When it comes to cultivating psilocybe cubensis fungi I can personally assure you that it is more than simple. You probably have most the needed items already in your home, and the ones that you dont are more than easy to obtain. As long as you can follow precise instructions and are clean and organized fungi cultivation should be no problem.
Fungi are fascinating, they are more like animals than plants, of coarse they are neither, but if we quickly compare: fungi breathe oxygen, like animals, while plants breathe C02. fungi do not engage in photosynthesis, while for plants it is essential, also, the cells of fungi are more similar to animals than plants, fungi even produce a compound called "Chitin", Chitin is a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine and is a key component in fungi cell walls, chitin is also present in the exoskeletons of arthropods, crustaceans, insects, in the the radulae of molluscs, cephalopod beaks, and in the scales of fish and lissamphibians. So in various ways fungi relate much more to animals than they do plants, even on the cellular level. Fascinating stuff.
Either way, we probably share many interests, so it would be interesting to hear your thoughts and opinions relating to these topics.
