Latest reviewed evidence

The sales figures below are USDA NASS estimates for the 2024–2025 U.S. season. The fresh-mushroom grade details describe the USDA standard still effective on the 2026-09-11 review date; USDA announced revised standards on 2026-08-25 with an effective date of 2026-09-24. Neither the survey average price nor a grade standard establishes a current lot offer or delivered mushroom price.

Species, marketed type and product form come before comparison

USDA NASS reports Agaricus mushrooms—including white button, crimini and portabella—separately from specialty mushrooms such as shiitake, oyster and other exotics. Fresh-market mushrooms, mushrooms for processing and canned mushrooms also have different commercial identities and standards. Atlas keeps species or marketed type, fresh or processed form, style and intended use attached before comparing sales, quality, trade or price evidence.

Dated U.S. sales data describes a mixed product universe

USDA NASS estimated 669.930 million pounds of all U.S. mushroom sales and $1.095633 billion of sales value in the 2024–2025 season, with a $1.64-per-pound weighted average producer price as sold. Agaricus accounted for 653.624 million pounds, while specialty mushrooms accounted for 16.305 million. These aggregates combine different products and selling methods; the report explains that the average can combine grower-packed FOB, bulk broker or repacker, and roadside retail sales.

Effective grade, future revision and shipment condition stay dated

On the 2026-09-11 review date, USDA's published fresh-mushroom standard described U.S. No. 1 as fresh mushrooms of similar varietal characteristics that are mature, at least fairly well shaped and trimmed, with condition and defect requirements. USDA announced a revised standard on 2026-08-25 that adds a portabella grade and changes size and defect provisions, effective 2026-09-24. Atlas dates the governing standard and never applies a future-effective rule to an earlier lot.

Survey averages and grade labels are not a physical mushroom quote

A current physical comparison needs exact species or marketed type, fresh, frozen, dried, canned or other processed form, style, grade and size basis, maturity and condition at the agreed inspection point, origin and production method, package and temperature history, lot quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window, freight and information vintage. Atlas withholds unsupported physical pricing when current permitted lot and route observations are missing.

Questions procurement teams ask

Are white button, crimini, portabella, shiitake and oyster mushrooms interchangeable?

No. White button, crimini and portabella fall within Agaricus in the reviewed USDA survey, while shiitake and oyster are separately reported specialty mushrooms. Species, marketed type, form and use remain explicit.

What does the $1.64-per-pound figure represent?

It is USDA NASS's weighted average producer price as sold across the 2024–2025 U.S. mushroom crop, combining different selling methods. It is not a live offer or delivered price for a specified lot.

Which USDA fresh-mushroom standard applies on September 11, 2026?

The previously published standard remains effective on that date. USDA announced revised standards on August 25, 2026, but stated that they become effective September 24, 2026; the applicable date must stay attached.

Which fields make physical mushroom offers comparable?

Species or marketed type, fresh or processed form, style, grade and size basis, maturity and condition, origin and production method, package and temperature history, lot quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and evidence date.
