  • 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?

      @@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.

You basically would need to do that again, but the problem is, how much does it cost? And the answer is a lot.

So when food producers or farmers get such rewards and based on their culture they will feel they achieved something in their profession so they will work even harder to maintaining those high quality/standards.
