Wild mushrooms competition?
    #24025184 - 01/20/17 09:51 AM (7 years, 10 days ago)

I live in the Pacific North West and right around September every farmer's market has at least 1 wild mushroom forager/buyer that's selling chanterelles, pine, and some dried mushrooms. I even went out with a buddy that use to forage full-time and sold our haul to restaurants that were already ordering veges from our farm.
For those of you that have big wild mushroom seasons, how badly does that hurt your sales? Do restaurants just completely stop ordering for 3 months in favour of the "popular" wild variety that customers expect? Like, even grocery stores feature chanterelles, so are they not reducing their cultivated orders?


--------------------
:mushroom: My trade list :mushroom:
Looking for strong terrestrial fruiters for an outdoor beds experiment:
Agaricus Bitorquis, Agaricus Augustus, Agaricus blazei/subrufescens, Stropharia Rugoso-annulata, Clitocybe Nuda (blewits), and any species or other genus that you think work outdoors.
Also, any commercially viable Pleurotus, cold or hot strains.
Thanks for the Q&A, trades, and all the posters & teachers that have come before us  :skol:

With my limited experience with selling foraged mushrooms, no it doesn't seem to effect demand.
Really just chanterelles and morels here though.
For most of the restaurants I sell to oyster and shiitake are staples for their mushrooms and wild/foraged mushrooms are ordered for very specific dishes or features. The price differences alone keep them from being interchangeable.
But we are in drastically different regions so I'm sure price and demand are very different.

I forage all over the Pacific Northwest, everything I pick gets sold. Either fresh, or dried. The price is what varies
