OK, after considering this some more, here are some more thoughts.
Seems like your main concern is you put time and effort in, she gets a mushroom business started, and you are out in the cold (or in the dark may be more appropriate...)
Right?
I can almost gaurantee that is what will happen. Without making you an official legal partner of her business, or a divission of her business, I can't see it ending in any other way.
A quick question for you. Is there room for more than one specialty mushroom company in the SE New England market? If so, then take this as a great chance to learn the buisness side of growing fungus, and the ins and outs of how to start up this type of company. Go into the deal knowing your are building her business, make all of the mistakes on her dime, then when the time is right, go start your own place... this happens all the time in my business, which explains why there are so many sefood guys out there. But if the market can't support you both, then this may not work...
You could even tell her you just want to work as a consultant for her mushroom start-up. All she has to cover is your fee, and you do all the work. That is always a possibility. Or tell her you just want to be the VP of her Mushroom Division, and to put you on a salary.
Anyway, obviously things are a little slow for me right now, I gotta get back to work.
good luck,
Zac
