Yes, there's a LOT to it, for sure. This was my brothers first ever attempt and it turned out very very well. He also has a biology degree though, so I'm sure that made the learning curve a good bit easier for him.

From what I gather there's a lot of work to make sure there isn't cross contamination with other fungi.

When you harvest does it regrow eventually or is it a one and done thing.

YES! They regrow, my brother is guessing that I should get 2-3 harvests. We'll see what happens, but the first harvest is complete.
