Thank you. That was very informative. No wonder mushrooms are so
expensive in the stores!

not really. Growers routinely achieve efficiencies over 100% (weight
of produced mushrooms versus dry weight of soil). But they are labor
intensive, and very perishable. Supermarket mushrooms are terrible -
definitely one veggie worth growing, specially considering that
homegrowing is not labor intensive.
