If you were to produce over 500,000 lbs a year you have to register with the mushroom council, and pay $.003 per pound



Is this a government entity, or a private organization?

You're right,  it's covered here  I must have missed that :frown:  7 cfr 205  is a long document.
Debian's right too, there isn't state tax on it here so I hadn't considered it...

unknown, unidentified or ?recreational? foragers."

That is maybe wise advice but the main purpose of it is
that suppliers get their share, I think.. (and they get their
merchandise from those unknown foragers...)

Last autumn this company http://personal.inet.fi/yritys/dallavalle/
bought (with cash) tons of Finnish porcinis and exported them to
Italy..mostly from those ?recreational? foragers...
They had a hard time of buying all that was offered, and they
even run out of cash occasionally...

Here is another Finnish company, http://www.finnishporcinisupply.com/

I think the answer is they are more paranoid. Liability is a much bigger scare here. A restaurant in the states would be put out of business if they had a poisoning. The mushrooms they are buying: chantrelles, morels, black trumpets etc, are all easily identified mushrooms for the recreational mushroom forager, but how can a restaurant put all that trust in someone they just met five minutes ago. I would bet a very few people at the restaurant might not be able to recognize the difference between a chantrelle and a false chantrelle.

organic life is too regulated. people dont want to deal with you unless you have all the paper work lined up and ready to show all your special tickets.
