I’d prefer to answer your questions on the site so others can benefit from the info. If you have questions beyond that, you should call your health dept.
I believe it’s the state that issues seller permits, but I’m not sure if you need one. I know some counties require them, and fortunately they’re free. Even if your county doesn’t require them, a venue you sell at might require them. I know some CFOs get one just in case. The environmental health dept can tell you if they require thme.
Selling uncooked mushrooms would fall under the realm of the ag dept, similar to selling produce. It wouldn’t fall under the cottage food law and I don’t know the rules about selling those.
End-of-year income tax is going to be based on gross sales, and probably as a self-employment tax. You just add up the total sales, remove your deductions, and your tax program should tell you what you owe. If you make enough money, you may have to submit estimated taxes quarterly.
Typically any sweet fruit jelly is allowed. It should have a significant amount of sugar in it… low sugar preserves would likely not be allowed. Pepper jellies would not be allowed.
Yes, if you have a commercial license from the health dept, you’d be relatively unrestricted.
I’d recommend a sole-proprietorship. Please see here: http://forrager.com/groups/california/forum/topic/can-you-expand-answer-on-llc/

There is no legal way to sell homemade cheesecakes in TN. Your mom needs a commercial license, which would also allow her to take online orders and do interstate sales. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
Yes, you can do any direct sales to customers.
