About Lobster mushroom
Mushrooms are the one produce line with no growing season. Whites, cremini, portobello and the cultivated specialties come out of climate-controlled growing rooms, and our reference lists Pennsylvania shipping in every month of the year. What moves the cost here is the economics of running a farm and the picking grade, not the weather in a field. The exception is the foraged items, morel, chanterelle and the wild assortment, which are bought by the pound when a forager has them and simply are not offered when nobody does.
Buying notes
Bulk whites and the institutional pack run in ten pound cases, cremini, portobello and oyster in five pound, the Asian and specialty caps in three pound, and pre-packed product as a case of eight-ounce clamshells, so the same mushroom loose and in a till is a different purchase. Foraged varieties are quoted by the pound, which is why their line moves with what comes in rather than with a contract.
