Who cares what the US thinks?

“Unfair” in that US farming subsidies aren’t being leveraged as well by US mushroom growers with strong lobbying arms.

Funny thing is, I’ve seen stories of local farmers in the US turning to the dutch method of mushroom farming to replace poultry and hog farming, and they’re doing quite well. It’s the legacy mushroom growers who are struggling.

Nearly all Canadian mushroom exports — 98 per cent in 2024 — are sold in the U.S. As B.C.’s technologically advanced mushroom industry has grown into a global leader, some American producers have accused Canadian growers of benefiting from unfair government subsidies. It’s set off a trade dispute that could reshape the cross-border market.

Depends. If they grow in cow shit and it is Gabriola Island it would be worth every penny.
