Most desireable gourmets for restaurants and farmers market?
    #14469014 - 05/17/11 05:28 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hello folks!

Recently I was hit by some cutting of hours at work and I'm looking into creative ways to supplement my income. I know gourmet mushrooms are in demand for certain restaurants and it doesn't seem like there are many growers here either to fill that. Only whole foods and a mushroom stall at the farmers market are filling this niche. What are the most valuable/in-demand gourmets right now that I could reasonably cultivate to supplement my income? Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

This is asked quite often.  You may want to start by trying to figure out if you could realistically grow hundreds of lbs of any mushroom every month.  If yes then you need to figure out what your local market demands.  Shiitake, king oyster, and maitake come to mind for high dollar edibles.

I'm also planning on selling on the side.  I'm currently growing blue oysters, king oysters, shitake, reishi, lions mane, black poplar, and nameko.  I will probably cut out reishi since it's a medicinal-only mushroom.  It takes forever to get up and running, and won't make a ton of money, but I love it as a hobby, I love eating them and sharing em with family and friends, so I recommend it as a hobby if nothing else.
