Gourmet mushrooms run on flushes: substrate blocks colonize, fruit in waves, and a week's harvest of oysters and lion's mane goes out in clamshells to the market and by the pound to chefs. The grow room hums around the clock and every block has a cost. MadeKeeper divides the room's real numbers across the pounds it actually fruits.

Say 12 blocks flush 38 lb of oysters:
At $12 a pound across market and chef orders, the week grosses $456.00 and keeps $402.72 — and when a batch of blocks contaminates, the same math shows exactly what the loss cost, which beats mourning it vaguely.
Cultivated mushrooms sell like produce in most states — foraged wild ones are a different program entirely, often with certification requirements. MadeKeeper keeps your harvest and sales records clean per channel; which side of that line your table sits on stays yours to check.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

The block's cost is already paid, so second-flush pounds carry only the week's room costs and packaging — the cheapest mushrooms you'll ever pick. The ledger shows it plainly, which is the argument for patience before the compost pile.
Chef orders run as a wholesale channel — steady pounds, no clamshells, no table fee. Most growers find the chef list is the backbone and the market is the marketing; your split will show in a month of records.
Log them as losses when they green over. Your real yield per dozen blocks — not the catalog's promise — becomes the number that sets prices and sizes the next substrate run.
