I Just Got The Opportunity Of a Lifetime 11

So my gf works at a local farmers market and last week across from where she sells veggies was a dude selling local mushrooms. Well I went over and was asking about his growing methods. His responses were vague and finally he just came clean saying he doesn't grow them. So I inquired where and by who did grow them. He told me who to call to talk further about it.
So fast forward a few days and I find the farm on the net and gave him a call explaining that I have been growing mushrooms as a hobby for 15 years of my life and how I can do all the basic stuff all the way to cloning and petri dishes.
He never got back to me.
So the other day I said fuck it and me and my gf drove there to see the farm.
I get there and introduce myself. As soon as I do he remembers me leaving a message and apologizes for not returning my call.
I ask to see his grow set up and ask questions and I give as much advice and notes as much as I can.
I ask of course if he needs any help and he tells me he moving the farm and cant afford it ATM moment but will remember to ask me when he does. Well me being me I wont take no for an answer. He then says well hey I buy oyster spawn for $2 a pound and offers to buy it from me if I can produce it. I explain I have no equipment. He then says he has a 41 1/2 quart AA pressure cooker and burners for it but needs jars and grain. He offers to supply everything and I do it on the farm for $1 a pound.
Since I love the hobby I would do it for free but $1 a pound sounds fair.
I then go on about how I have the ability to grow many types of mushrooms for him as to make him as much money as possible.
Fast forward to today.
He calls and tells me to figure out what I need for equipment and what cultures I need and for me to do as I please and prove myself. He said once I prove myself and make the farm $1000 a week profit after all exspenses he will split the profit and have me be the boss of the whole operation.
I was taken back and cant say no. I am a bit nervous but very excited.
And he says that once we need more employees I will hire who I wish for whatever I want as long as its financially a good idea.
So um yeah, this is fucking amazing
I start Saturday and will take pics and post them.
I have all the lab equipment you can dream of and I get to design my lab to work.
FUCK MAN I AM SO EXCITED

I'll come work for you when you need another employe, I've cultivated about 30 species successfully. I can grow anything even from wild specimens, I do agar/isolation and all the typical stuff. Plus I like working hard.

Hopefully hes a man of his word and he's serious about splitting it 50/50 with you. Roughly how many pounds would you have to produce to make a grand a week?
Either way it sounds like an awesome job and an opportunity that not many of us here would pass up. Id imagine at least. Best of luck fee.

His goal for us is 1,000 pounds a week.
But when it comes to making $1,000 profit a week it all depends on what kind of mushrooms we are selling and to whom.

That's awesome. I'm totally jealous. Do you think the guy has a secret giant patch of psilocybin? I've been tempted to find a mushroom farm for that reason alone.
