A kilo of chanterelle mushrooms sells for under 40 euros at an online grocery (more expensive than brick and mortar) around here. So that's less than 20 euros for a pound.
It's also pretty questionable whether using fresh weight is really fair for some of the mushrooms.
Weirdly enough, Cordyceps sinensis cultivation has recently had a breakthrough and I believe they're moving towards commercial production (caterpillars and all), so the price might go down.
cordyceps cultivation
Bruh this is how we end up with a super zombie fungus
Actually seeing the cordyceps in the shape of the caterpillars they infected is wild.
No kidding, that is freaky!
Never seen morels going for nearly that price, so I don't much trust the other entries, but I suppose it could be because they grow around where I live?
That’s probably it, morels have a rather short shelf life because they autolyze (or whatever the fancy term is for “start digesting itself”)
That process needs to be halted if you want them to last more than a day
Edit: found that out when the GF realized that I have a green house and grow (most) my own veggies- and compost the waste back into grow-juice. (Fortified with certain other things.)
She was going to beg, but I apparently rolled over too quickly. (She now has three racks that hold compost at various stages specifically to grow mushrooms.)
I gather mushrooms and have had no trouble keeping morels fresh for a few days.
Yeah. They're generally all good sitting a few days time in the fridge.
It makes sense but is disappointing that the most expensive one is used for snake oil rather than cuisine.
Cordyceps is definitely used to make soups. But I believe that's mainly C. militaris, not sinensis.
Morels are nowhere near that expensive (though they are pricey) and some of the items on the list are not even mushrooms.
