Gourmet Prices.
    #8042750 - 02/19/08 12:50 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I was at this market today, talking to the produce manager about selling them morel's this spring and other gourmet deliciousness. I'm just curious how much gourmet fungus ranges in price around the nation.

Right now morel's are priced at 15.99$ an ounce dried. Bolet's/Lobster/Oyster mushroom's dried are usually between 2.99/4.99 dried for an ounce. Woodear dried usually go for around 4.99.

Fresh fungus especially hand harvested from local forest's usually are priced alil more, last fall lewit's were going for 16$ a pound fresh. Morel's were 20$ a pound fresh.

Yeah for sure,. I'm not interested in how much cultivated fungus goes for. But that's usually what you find in most market's. Especially during the off season. Once spring hit's you'll see more and more of some hand foraged fungus. I'm just curious what the prices are like elsewhere in the world. :tomato:

I took these pics a couple months ago at a local mushroom store. Their stock comes from a local farm and local gatherers.

sweetness, so I'd say wholesale would be about 75% of that.

I've seen fresh morels go for as high as 40 per pound in Atlanta. That was towards the end of the season, or local season anyway. So there must have been some shipping cost associated with that price.

If you sell directly to a grocer, you will make more than wholesale.
Mushrooms are in the top 10 most profitable vegetables for produce departments. The produce manager expects to make around 42-45%. When computing a retail price, they will take into account freight in.

20-25 a lb fresh morels in iowa, but I had a fella tell me that he went to a gathering and sold a few pounds for $50 per last year, so I'm thinking it might be worth a little road trip if you can find one that isn't terribly far away *eyeballs wisconsin*

They're all hand-picked. No one has invented/produced a successful picking machine.

to be honest porto's are nice and meaty but besides that, once you've had some other delicious shrooms porto's aren't even that appetizing after awhile. For good commercial shroom's I'd do some oyster's of a couple shades. And some hericium. :O
