You will get the most far-out results by starting with less-common methods, such as putting a bit of mashed fruit in your starter or using anything other than wheat flour. Different yeasts like to eat different things. Also it's like Bertie Botts Every Flavor Bread. :D You will get the occasional Eau de Old Socks and What Died Here? But you will also get flowers, chocolate, malt, vanilla -- countless wild and glorious things from yeast friends who haven't sat down to bake with a human friend in 6,000 years.
If you're at the "Do more" stage in your sourdough journey, then I heartily encourage you to make some new yeast friends from the wild. These baked goods can be worthy of a charcuterie board.

I'm a big fan of wild yeast. Someone brought loaves to a potluck that were cultured from wild grape skins and such.
