how “Mushroom Grow Kits” only say they fruit once or twice on the box, but wild/cultivated mushrooms usually don’t stop.

Question

I’ve seen a mushroom grow kit from Back to the Roots. It says that the vacuum sealed bag is mycelium and you can follow instructions to get it to fruit once, maybe even a second time on the other side of the bag. Why does it imply that it stops there? I thought mycelium continues to spread and fruit periodically?

Thank you in advance for the insight!

Edit: Awesome explanations guys, thank you again

resource depletion. In a cowfeild cows make new shit piles for the mushrooms to eat. But in a kit, you are given a certain limited amount of food for your fun guys and eventually that food runs out, then they starve.
