Mattake or Matsutake Mushrooms – $1,000
The mattake, or matsutake, mushroom is the most expensive mushroom in
the world today. This is a highly coveted mycorrhizal mushroom that can
be found in Asia, North America and Europe, particularly in Japan,
China, Korea, the United States, Canada, Finland and Sweden. The most
popular is the one associated with the Japanese Red Pine. It is usually
hidden under fallen leaves on the forest floor. While simple to harvest,
it is extremely hard to find. The annual harvest in Japan is less than a
thousand tons only.
