They also promise to have some maps available of the most favorable locations to harvest this year.

S & K Holding will be buying mushrooms with cash this year. There will also be buyers out on location ready to purchase directly from shroomers.

According to SKH, they actually have a big market for those wild delectable fungi. Currently, market prices for a Category 1 Morel pays anywhere from $3-5 an ounce.

Morels are categorized as either 1 or 2. Category 2 Morels have slight imperfections, but taste just as good as a Category 1 Morel.
