Here in the Lehigh Valley of PA, we pay about $1.99/lb (which works out to
about $6.40 a kilo if I'm doing the math right?) but I have a source for
mushrooms at $1.49/lb which works out to, I think, less than $5/kilo. (all
prices U.S.)

Specialty mushrooms run about $3.99/lb which means about $12.75 a kilo.
