Another option I'm considering is doing value added stuff. Mushroom soups and pickled oysters etc....but I won't be ready for the Market until next summer.
I just did a test batch of oil preserved mushrooms. They came out awesome! The recipe is as follows with your own twist on spices/herbs.
Pack mushrooms into regular mouth pint or quart jars, pack tight 1 crushed clove of garlic 1 small sprig of rosemary 1-2 medoim sprigs of thyme few small sage leaves 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp crushed pepper or a few peppercorns
fill with canola oil place jars into hot water bath lid off target oil temp is 170 for 30 min place lids on and turn off heat allow to sit in the oil for 30 min then remove and place into fridge for storage allow 5 days for herbs to really soak out into the mushrooms
Im thinking about double boiling them in larger jars or pots then packing jars, main reason there is water at the bottom of the jars when im done using said method. second reason is the mushrooms soften and pack much better after cooking, some people wont want a 2/3 full jar vs a packed one.
I was told by one of my executive chefs this is how they preserve my mushrooms for up to 5-6 weeks.
Would these be considered canned ? If so I think I read that FDA doesn't approve canned mushrooms. Something about acidity levels, botulism? I definitely want to try for myself! Great looking booth !

So hide the logs when you want a break

Anyone got an answer? Nobody needs trouble from the FDA

They are not canned. Canned means they are shelf storage stable. This is more like cooked mushrooms, they must be refrigerated and will only last a few weeks in the fridge.

Don't mean to hijack the thread. Canned or preserved mushrooms are of interest to me.Could not find FDA , although they have been involved in button mushrooms that were canned. Found this on a canning site.
Now here is the important part: The botulism toxin CAN easily develop in a pH level above 4.6 when it is in the sealed environment of a canning jar! You cannot taste or smell botulism when it is present in a jar and it is deadly. So in order to ensure safety, you must kill all spores at a super high temperature (240-250 degrees F) for an extended period of time. You can ONLY reach that temperature with a Pressure Canner.
