Why genitive is used here?
In the sentence:
Eines gleich vorweg: Wir sind kein Speisepilz-Verein!
Why isn't it:
"Ein gleich vorweg: ..." ?
What's the reason to use genitive here? Is there any grammar that I don't know? Can you explain it?

Here eines is not genitive and not an article. Instead "eines" is a pronoun, and its neuter form is eines.
You can translate this sentence as
One thing right from the start ...
