You're right, it's covered here I must have missed that 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...

Check out page 19... "When purchasing wild mushrooms, use only known and approved sources. Do not purchase mushrooms from 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/

"crazy Euros" I dunno. A mushrooms is a mushroom is a mushroom...
How do you know where it is from anyway. Or who has given mushrooms some rat poison with at backwoods ...
Maybe Americans have be more "strict" (paranoid)..

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.
