Description
Matsutake/Tricholoma matsutake¸/pine mushroom, a highly
sought after mycorrhizal mushroom grows in YunNan, China, Asia.
Matsutake are hard to find, though simple to harvest, and,
therefore, the price is very high. Domestic production of matsutake
in Japan has been sharply reduced over the last *0 years due to a
pine nematode
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, and it has
influenced the price a great deal. The annual harvest of matsutake
in Japan is now less than 1,**0 tons, and the Japanese mushroom
supply is largely made up by imports from China, Korea, the North
American Pacific Northwest (Northern California, Oregon,
Washington, and British Columbia), and Northern Europe (Sweden and
Finland).
