This copperhead is essentially ready for harvest, already harvested the purples the other day and they were sooooo delicious! Probably one of the most interesting Christmas gifts I've received.

I watched a video on mushroom farming a few months ago. Its much more intensive than I thought.

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.

Now graduate to your own equipment. You can really get creative and do so much with mushroom cultivation. I started with cubensis and got really good at it, but I just can't do it anymore where I live but I'm about to build up my arsenal again and go for some legal species. It's such a rewarding hobby.
