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

i personally have gotten a ‘one shot’ bag to go for months. twice.
those were both bags from the now defunct *Homestead Book Company*. the first time i grew 4ish pounds (wet weight) over ten flushes with a strain they called Kong. i am not exaggerating when i say the caps were 4-5inches across and they were all 12inches tall of more. this was in Colorado.
the second batch was just a Golden Teacher but i started it a month before we moved from CO back to MI and i (again, you do not have to believe me) drove the growing pile of shit and mycelium all across the country (CO-MI-NY-NH-MI and all the states in between) and was able to harvest almost two pounds (wet weight) over a month. any time i wanted a handful i just opened the box.
and that is the key. i do not leave mine in the bag. i make a tupperware bin for them. one time i used a small trash can. i leave the lid on the bottom so the shit sits on a wire frame on the lid and so i can lift the box/can off quickly to remove any built up gasses and i can just tilt it to harvest fruits.
i miss *Homestead Books*. i had a long working relationship with them. i could just call and say it was me and they just filled the same order as always and amended the strain based on where i was at and had my billing on file so no numbers or addresses traded over the phone.
if you really want to have a consistent and long growing crop, it is possible. you do not even have to be very sterile once the shit is covered. i just use a small amount of bleach water and some spray Lysol around the area before i open the box. i can try to explain more if you want.
