Can you sell morel mushrooms to restaurants?
I was wondering if anybody knows if restaurants would buy morel mushrooms, and if so? What kind of restaurants? Usually how much?
Thanks for your help!
I am former chef and have bought from private vendors, things like asparagas, fiddleheads, salmon and other fruit and veg.
The only thing you may find with mushrooms of any kind is the suspect issues, being are they safe, most places might be reluctant to buy them unless you have a certication as a qualified mushroom hunter.
When I worked in B.C, Canada we had a vendor bring morels, chanterelles, lobster, shiitake, shimiji and enoki mushrooms grown then organically in the woods north of Vancouver, he was well known to the restaurants and hotels in the city so he had not problem, I would look to what the one person said, find a market base for them, and as most mushroom hunters have there own private spot, like truffle hunters in Italy and France, make sure you can sell them, otherwise you can dry them and sell them that way, we bought from a commercial company in the winter, dried morels/chanterelles and porchinis, plus they ground the odd ones for seasoning or to add to sauces or pasta mixes.
