Why Matsutake Mushrooms Are So Expensive

Matsutake mushrooms harvested in Japan can cost over $500 per kilogram. Mushroom foragers like Gihei Fujiwara search for matsutake once a year around early fall. But it's hard to predict the quality of a harvest. Over the past 70 years, Japan's harvest has declined by over 95%. Now the mushroom's future is unclear. So what makes these mushrooms so expensive? And why have they almost disappeared?

have you ever considered that the life you have is given and the soul you carry is not yours? it's time to stop playing with Jesus and make mockery of the truth, and repent from your sins, NOW, and believe the gospel. its fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God, Jesus can require your soul TODAY. pray this, admit out loud that "Jesus, there is no way i can get myself clean from my lust, pornography, and all other sins, so i could get to heaven. i have basically ruined my chances already to get into heaven by my own. there is no righteous/sinless person in the world except you. i believe you are the Son of God which is Spirit, and you always do what He says you to do, that is why you are called the Word, which became flesh. you are equal with God. You are the image of the living God. God made you Lord and ONLY Savior for humans, and the world didnt accept you, they crucified you. but little did the devil knew that your sinless blood could carry all of the world's sin! but you knew about it beforehand! i accept your cross work, i believe the gospel, that you did it for me, and for everyone else too. even for the wicked of the wicked. God of Abraham and Jacob, seal me with the promise of pulling me up to heaven like you raised Jesus too, seal me with Your Spirit, the Holy Spirit. i invite the Spirit of Truth into me, which is the same Spirit that Jesus, your Son has. I accept you Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior of my life

@@It-s-me-P probably not, berries are not regulated as strictly, but Forest service requirements for harvesting on Federal lands must be considered. There's a lot of different things that are available for market value in the Oregon region, from mushrooms to ferns, and shrubs for floral arrangements to Pine cones. I was lucky to be in the early days of it all , before the legislation passed to regulate our access. 35 years ago, there wasn't the huge money involved in matsutake that is common now. It was considered a family activity for the most part. Now, the prices have made it more mercenary with professional pickers who destroy the mushroom beds ,which limits the return for the future.

i think the western habit of ceasing all activity after retirement is killing us. I see a ton of people retiring at 65 and then more or less turning into vegetables afterwards, doing nothing but play games, watch tv, and lay around most of the day. I think it's actually unhealthy to stop working before 70 (assuming theres no health reason to stop you working) and we need to stay physically and mentally active after 70. Turning off your brain and watching TV all day or lounging around the house rather then going out or doing things that require some physical or mental work just causes your brain and body to degrade quickly, that's why a Japanese 80 year old seems like an American 50 year old

In the southern part of the US there is an endangered species of bird called the red cockaded woodpecker. This bird only exists because the natives used to the burn the lands to manage the deer. That area by natures choice would be an oak savannah, and not the pine grove they lived in. Now that it’s being managed for what it should have been, the birds are slowly disappearing while we also try to prevent their extinction, it’s a weird duplicity. This mushroom feels very much the same. It was only dense in those woods when they people were removing all the vegetation. Now that electricity keeps them warm, the woods are returning to a more natural state, one unseen for decades.

With all the knowledge and technology we currently have it's a shame that there's no way of replicating this type of environment and climate in an advanced greenhouse to grow these mushrooms easily without the pine trees. Not even an aeroponics system can work with this unfortunately.

we have matsutake in mushroom farms in Canada. They cheap to make abt 130-280/kg. But the taste is diffent from the wild one I can tell. Same with the one from China or Korea

@narcissticgoddess 2 жыл бұрын

it's because fungi are a different class altogether. although we can domesticate certain species like buttons and oyster mushrooms, we have to remember fungi behaves more like animals-- some will require diets and environments that are harder to mimic artificially.

@alexis1156 2 жыл бұрын

As per usual it's probably more a question of economics. As mushrooms need a certain environment, basically forest, that makes it challenging to create them, not impossible, but definitely more difficult, as it was also pointed at in this video, as they said that once, when they needed more firewood the forests made more of these mushrooms as people were taking care of the forest. You basically would need to do that again, but the problem is, how much does it cost? And the answer is a lot.

@lucaskitamura614 2 жыл бұрын

@@alexis1156 Increasing wild production and growing in farms are two very different things. There are many species of plant, animal and funghi humans haven't been able to domesticate, due to them requiring specific conditions which may be hard or impossible to replicate outside of their natural environment.

There is plenty of Matsutake in Finland but like with any mushrooms you have to know where to look in the forest. The cost of mushrooms is mainly due to yearly changes. This mushroom is not that popular here so it's exported to Japan. Collecting mushrooms in the forest is really nice and meditative :)

Matsutake has a very very strong aroma. I think it's much stronger than Natto, which is a Japanese fermented food with a unique taste. So maybe it takes time to get used to it.

I remember when exporting matsutake to Japan was a thing in the news in Finland. Barely anyone picked them, so the price they sell out was a surprise. I don't know how much we now export to Japan, but it was a buzzing new thing back then. I don't mind that shroom, it's ok. Won't go to specially find it, because there's plenty anyway, and most likely I'll just leave them there.

Parents usually said that "once you've seen 3 episodes, your father will get back home from work" It was something truly magical. And everyone in Finland has seen atleast a few episodes. Most children - all of them.
