Price for dry reishi? and for dry oyster mushroms?
    #26963382 - 10/01/20 07:22 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

i am growing Raishi and pink oysters.
I never sold reishi as dry mushrooms but now i have few people interested. I usually i do  reishi tinture so i really do not know the price for reishi mushrooms. Can you please give me a idea of how much does it cost where do you live or how much do you sell it for?

Same for pink oysters... i am selling the fesh oyster at 20 usd a kg. It is 2 usd each 100 grams of oysters.
I dried them and the weight 10 time less of the fresh ones. So how much do i have to sell the dry oyesters? 200 usd a kg? 20 usd for 100 grams ?
It looks like pretty expencive...

please share with me you experience to understand well which price i have to use..

I've heard that the price of gourmet mushrooms are highly dependent on the local market. Do the leg work for your area. Is there competition? What do they charge? Farmers market near by that you want to sell at? The price should be heavy on supply and demand. What are your expenses? How much is reasonable for your time and effort when compared to your production?

For Reishi - you gotta compete with the market, so I'd check ebay and just charge average of what you see on there.  You might be able to up the price a bit based on "not grown in china", but other than that you gotta compete.

For dried oysters the price is basically whatever you can get.  I don't know a whole ton of people that want dried oysters, most sell them only as a way to recoup money they weren't able to get at the farmer's market.  So LESS than fresh price (with weight from drying factored in).

But that's just my opinion :shrug:  As with anything else, charge what you can get.

thanks a lot for the answers...
Where i live no one is growing mushrooms, but i do not want to sell too expencive because the economy here is slow.... and my clien are not from Costa Rica. Are foreiners that live here. So is important for me to do not charge too much or will be not nice.
I am selling at those price right now:
2 usd for 100 grams of fresh pink oysters mushroms
3,5 usd for a jar with 110 grams of pink oysters boiled and with olive oil , pepper, salt . Is under vacuum
pink oyster powder : ? thinking 20 usd for 100 grams
Reishi Slices: ? thinking 20 usd for 100 grams
Reishi Powder: ?? thinking 20 usd for 100 grams
Reishi tinture : 3 usd for 60 ml tinture made with 70% alcool 30% water

I see in ebay reishi powder is abour 33 usd for 16 oz and i see very very cheap: is more or less 70 usd a kg and to make a kg of dry reishi you need 10 kg of fresh reishi. mmmmmmm ...... cheap...

If you are the only person who does this in your area you have a lot of control over your price. If you want to rip off tourists, you could do that by making very high prices. If you want to deal with the same people over and over, its good to build a relationship by offering a fair price. But since you are the only person who has your product, the fair price could be relatively high. Maybe as a side project, you could start growing food mushrooms and deal high volume at a fairer price to local Nicaraguans. If you have high production and buy your materials in bulk, your expenses should be very low. If no one else grows, local grocery stores maybe interested in your product. Maybe you could look into opening a small stand to sell at. Good Luck!
