Who pays and why

Where the members come from

It reads as an extension of Heartwood Mushrooms, so the business's customers and workshop audiences are the likely feeder.

What's holding it back

The page lists who it is for but not what members get, and the paid tiers are not described.

Name several distinct types of member in a list, so each reader sees their own reason to join.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any hands-on growing hobby, such as beekeeping or sourdough. Weak where people need costly equipment.
