  You are truly showing your colors,...  lol  Nothing personal, but they is a world of past posts, and resources here and at the Shroomery to explain these basics.
  In any case,..  A flush is a fruiting cycle.  The period when fruit bodies ( shrooms ) are actually growing. 
  Depending on the substrate, nutrients available, and growing conditions, will dictate how many "flushes" will occur.
  After the first flush is harvested, and your beds nursed, another flush should follow shortly afterwards, and repeating the cycle until the nutrients are expended.
  Hope that gets you started.  Good luck.

I agree with FT on that book rec. It's what got me started in this hobby, although it took me a year to order the spores because of DEA paranoia.
  You can also go on youtube and search on "growing magic mushrooms" sometimes, especially in this hobby, good visuals are, hmmmm, enjoyably entertaining...
