Wow, so if you were just suppling a few restraunts or whatever wouldn't you need less that 100 pounds a month? I couldn't image making that much, but I could image 20 pounds a month.

H. ulmarius produces less spores than most other oyster type mushrooms. I would reccomend that as the main crop for a fledgling gourmet mushroom grow op.

you may be hard pressed to find a restaraunt that would except a pound or less a day. however some specialty stores may go for it. research it in your area.

Check out the Ethnic shops and talk to them about differnt mushrooms..

Could one make money with Reishii in a small area?
Because they would be easy to sell.

The ritzy places are your best customer. Grocery stores will expect wholesale prices.

And if you're organic you can basically make up your own price. People will pay anything for something rare and organic.

I think Reishi is usually sold dried, is it not?

I've asked at a couple local herbal shops, in Milwaukee and Indianapolis, and neither had bulk dried Reishi or any other medicinal mushroom. I haven't checked for it in Chinatown in Chicago. I think that perhaps bulk dried reishi is an online thing.

Rieshi is dried before sold. I talked to many of the health food stores and various other ethnic stores. The ones I have talked to dont want whole rieshi. They would rather have them capsulated or in an extract form.

Ritzy places are definetly the best customers. There just few and far between. I take my losses and dump em all of at a grocery store for ruffly 3 bucks a pound. Makes it easy for me, one stop.

Did you talk to them as to why they wanted encapsulated form? Usually the capsules are powdered mycelium and in terms of traditional chinese medicine are of the lowest value.

When I get back into producing commercially, the first places I will solicite will be $30-$50 a plate restaurants.

They said people just dont want to take the time making teas or grinding the mushrooms them selfs.

Too many stupid uninformed consumers in that market it would seem.

Oh well, just grind up your substrate blocks and put it in capsules for them. :smirk:

here's my 2 cents: ski basins

ski basin restaraunts attract the high end tourism that supports a high end mushroom economy. or large hubs of commerce. hubs like like new york, los angelas, frisco, etc. will be bound to have some high end restaraunts that cater to that flavor. shop around. if they're is no market in your area you are shit out of luck. not everyone can be lucky enough to have a carvable piece of turf to make an economic niche in this biz.

I was talking to a friend in Ft. Collins CO. I think that is definately true. In season he can find King Oysters, Chantrelles, Varieties of buttons, shiitakes, porcini, and on and on.... all fresh at market.

Wow, I would've guessed more. In fact I know there are more: UWisconsin Madison, Penn State, and Fort Collins. I also know that Eastern Illinois U offers graduate programs. What about out west in Washington and Oregon?
