CCTV financial news, in these days, with the bulk listing of wild mushrooms, the large wild mushroom trading center in Kunming, Yunnan has seen its daily trading volume exceed 200 tons, officially entering the mushroom season. The increase in listing volume has also led to a significant drop in wild mushroom prices. Previously, Qingjian mushrooms were selling for over 500 to 600 yuan per kilogram, now the best quality ones are priced at over 300 yuan, which is half the price. The price of chicken mushroom remains stable at around 500 yuan per kilogram. At the same time, Shangri-La matsutake mushrooms, which were sold out due to the limited listing volume half a month ago, can now be sampled in small quantities this week. In addition to popular categories, niche wild mushrooms such as Gu Shu mushroom, milk mushroom, and chicken oil mushroom have also seen prices drop to around 100 yuan per kilogram.
