Biggest reason why I want to be cautious is because I can save her a ton of $$$. She currently gets her blocks (non organic cert) freighted from Penn to boston . She has to buy a pallets worth each time(200 blocks-too many ,getting old and getting infected with trichoderma mold from sitting)Where she drives to pick them up.The strain is of lower quality. I have a friend closer where we could just drive and pick up the blocks,same price and no $125 freight charge. ALso this strain is of a very high quality and certified organic , which is huge. We could also buy and redistribute/process the mushrooms he grows until we got going and to produce capital. He sells them very cheaply , 1/3 of what we could charge! I also have 4-5k worth of commercial cultures in addition to all the cultures i traded and cloned. I also have a ton of equipment on hand already too that I spent a ton of coin on . Not too mention the 1000's of hours of experience I have with 20+ different strains . Experience foraging for local wild mushrooms too! That's a lot to me to give , and not get a percentage of the actual mushroom business, not just profits....

If I wanted I could just talk to my friend about being a salesman for his company . Go to the markets and restaurants and undersell her , taking her out before she got started.
