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...

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.
