How much would you sell a pound of shrooms for to your friends in a world where this was legal and totally ok. Completely hypothetical!

I hope not. It's just a totally hypothetical situation I am proposing. Nothing illegal here.

It would depend on how cheap the other guy was selling mushrooms for in this world that doesn't exist.
idk, 800 a pound

Legal and totally OK? Its un entertaining hypothetical only until you realize what commercial bulk prices are for shitaki or buttons. I think it would be well under $10 for a dried pound and probably around the same for a fresh pound. With prohibition the price of a substance has little to nothing with its inherent value to produce but with the risks that make it worth the chance of being captured and thrown in prison. In a world where its legal and OK they're worth nothing more than shitakis and probably more than buttons, but even that's a damn stretch, they might actually be easier to produce than buttons and so cost even less.

QPs are 400, so 1600 minus a discount so like 1400 to 1500. Friendly price, 1250$

I disagree, I think they would at least a bit more valuable than your run of the mill edible varieties.
I mean, just because a drug is legal doesn't mean its thatt dramatic of a value reduction.

Unless its taxed to high heaven like alchohol that is exactly what it means. If marijuana was legal and untaxed as a drug 50 pound bales would be roughly as valuable as hay. Its literally only prohibition that makes any drug valuable at all.

It still takes a lot of TLC to grow quality bud. I would imagine hydroponic and most indoor grows would still be at least $5/gram.

that is straightup illogical to me.
Like one guy said, it costs more to produce. And because it is simply more valuable.

It it were actually fully legal I can't imagine there would be any hydro or indoor except done by hobbiest similar to home brewers. A single farmer with a combine harvester can cover 5000 acres of wheat fields or corn fields. MJ would be produced the same way. Any indoor would be something a hobbiest grew because they enjoyed it or it was some special thing to them in some way, not because they could save money on it, they couldn't, they'd lose money but its worth it to them for the pleasure of watching it grow or whatever.

you think nobody would do commercial hydro grows?
That too is weird to me. But I don't know much about hydro or growing large scale

In a free market, supply and demand determines the price. How free is the market really though. You have to account for things like medical value, ease of production and taxability. IMO psilocybes would be more valuable than shiitake because of their mind expanding properties. Probably about a $800-1000 for a friend is a good price in this world you speak of.

They'd lose their shirt if it was actually a free market. Paying for electricity and nutes is the biggest cost. One of those is free from the sun. It only ever was prohibition that put it indoors. I used to run 4 1000 watt lights on flip boxes, I know those 700 a month electric bills. I did it and know the expenses involved. The sun is free. The soil is rich and fertilizer especially chemical fertilizer is cheap. Its the power thats expensive. And if can add all the improvements of agricultural science to it in a legal and free market there really is no reason anyone would ever grow inside except as a personal hobby because it could only lose money as a means of production for commercial sales.

OPs hypothetical presumes a free and legal environment. Cubes are easy to grow. I can't think of any reason they'd be more expensive unless it was for testing to determine their standard psilocybin content and that would be be cheap as any soil analysis. No, you are in prohibition thinking. Without danger of being captured and put in prison psilocybes are not more valuable than edibles and I can think of no reason they should be.

Jeez, a pound of mushrooms selling for $1k means that each trip (if you trip an eighth) is less than $8. That's a snag if I've ever seen one.
Less than some of the street prices I've seen for a tab.
