With mushrooms its called a flush.

I typically get 2-3 flushes with blue oyster mushrooms, rarely 4-5, but those dont really give anything since each subsequent flush has less and less fruiting mass as the fungus uses up its food source and weakens. It also typically starts losing against any other microbes and fungi at that point, so I usually toss everything after the third as it starts to get yucky.

Sometimes the fungus survives being tossed and produces more flushes wherever it was tossed (compost pile, leaf piles, etc.)
