Mushrooms

What is Mushrooms?

Standard fresh white button mushrooms, the all-purpose cultivated mushroom sold loose or in bulk. Mild, firm, and the cheapest mushroom on the sheet.

Sliced into red sauce and on pizzas, sauteed for omelets and brunch at diners, tossed into stir-fries and into burger and steak toppings. The everyday mushroom for soups, gravies, and saute stations across every cuisine in the city.

Mushrooms wholesale price in NYC

As of July 13, 2026, the wholesale quote for mushrooms in the NYC market is about $21.95 — it's held close to flat at that level across the past 12 months.

That puts today right around where it's been all year — nothing unusual to plan around.

Why the number moves

NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on mushrooms can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the Northeast

Cultivated indoors, mostly out of Pennsylvania, so quality and supply hold steady all year.

Per case or per pound?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Buy in 10 lb cases and check the gills, tightly closed and pale veil means fresh; open dark gills mean older. Store in the original cardboard, never sealed plastic, so they breathe and do not sweat and slime.
