I can't think of any obvious clues unrelated to the dealing itself.
I'd imagine any money to be gained would depend on who you know that can buy them.
I'd imagine you'll likely get fucked by the same thing other dealers go down for, you get a reputation, people are excited they know "the man" who grows shrooms cuz omg that's so kewl, they tell everyone, you tell everyone cuz you're so proud, and then you spend upwards of a year in jail.

I don't think there are any tell-tale signs. With marijuana, sometimes people get paranoid about the smell, the huge electricity consumption, thermal imaging etc. etc., but with mushrooms, no one would know even if you had a few thousand jars, or 30 cased tubs.
I would only grow if you have a set market right now. If you know you could sell a couple ounces over the period of a few weeks, I'd say go for it. When around friends who may be interested, mention a friend of yours is going to start growing, and if they would be interested. Try and line up buyers who are looking for a half ounce or more.
You really should try and avoid dealing eighths to people when you are growing. You don't want to be putting out ounces and selling to dozens of people every week. Get 2-3 people who will pick up an ounce after each flush, and you are set.
Remember, it's always your friend that is growing, don't show anyone your grow operation, and deal to as few people as possible, and only people that you know pretty well.
As for profit, just do a little math. Setting up a grow isn't too expensive. Production is always cheap, and when it comes to yield, the sky is the limit. You can easily put out 1lb+ flushes with the right setup. Around here, an ounce dry goes for around $200. If you can sell 16 separate ounces, thats $3200. If you want to minimize risk, try and find buyers who are looking for QP's, you make 4 deals and get a massive profit.

If I where growing to sell I would do a grow operation in six month intervals, Bring it up get a few ounces sell to good friends and trusted people. No one needs to know I am growing them other than my friends, and they can hook their friends up. Take the operation down and eliminate the evidence. The shrooms will be gone quickly and the money will be made. There is no point in distributing in my are year round because of winter, summer is boomer season and everyone wants them then.

> Is there any money to be made in the mushroom business or is it better to just grow for personal use?
Before you do anything, you should check the laws in your area and ensure that it is legal. Decent money can be made growing and selling legal edible mushrooms to high end restaurants in the area without the risk of prison.

I hope this is a joke.
I hope you trust these people more than you trust yourself. Do these people love you so much that when its time for you to go to jail, they will offer to go instead?
Cause if not, prepare to go to jail. You wont know its coming until it happens. Everyday will be the same, you might not even know what friend did it to you to save their own ass, but it will happen.
Don't tell friends you have a friend who grows them. This is almost the same as saying you grow them yourself.
Do not sell to a ton of diffrent people, one of them is sure to be retarded. Use math to your advantage, and lower the odds of anything happening.
Try to sell alot, and infrequently. Do not let people ask you if you have any, you ask them if they need any. If your boy is in cahoots with the police, they will want results fast. Not want to wait around months for you to call him. You take his call, you're gone.
This is serious business, and sometimes fantasies when you are young can create pretty harsh realities when you are older if you dont think very carefully about what you're doing.
be safe
