Anticipating senescence?

I have read several times that commercial growers expand there cultures until anticipation of senescence. How does one anticipate senescence and what is the advantage of this practice.
-------------------- I need tropical cultures, ABM, V.v....!!!! Well things don't always look as they are and things can be misread and mistaken for what they realy are so don't read too much into what I say since I might be mistaken myself. And remember I rarely ever give a definate answer.

Two advantages for the commercial grower- max use of initial spawn, and reduces opportunities for competitors to clone. For the home cultivator, not so much of a big deal.

Experience. If you expand the mycelium too much, fruiting is poor or not at all. Next time, you learn to cut back on the number of expansions. Time is also a factor in addition to the number of cell divisions. RR

I had a feeling that would be the answer.

I would say that if this is true, it is uncommon. Look in the Gourmet forum for people who have cloned and grown store bought mushrooms with good to excellent results. You should try it!

I have in the past and currently have whole foods pearl and yellow oyster on plates. That is what spured my curiosity.
