The average price received by growers, at $3.37 per pound, was down 7 cents from the revised previous season estimate. Certified Organic Agaricus and Specialty Mushrooms Growers produced 127 million pounds of mushrooms that were certified organic during the 2019-2020 growing season, 22 percent above 2018-2019. Sixty-two percent of the total, or 79.4 million pounds, were sold as certified organic mushrooms. Agaricus mushrooms accounted for 88 percent of the mushrooms sold as certified organic, while all specialty mushrooms made up the remainder. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Grower surveys are conducted in preparation for this report. All known commercial mushroom producers are contacted utilizing mail, telephone, and personal enumeration. Unless other specific arrangements are made, data collection for multi-State operations is conducted by the State in which the firm's headquarters is located. Information is collected for Agaricus (including White Button, Crimini, and Portabello) and specialty mushrooms. Estimating procedures: Information obtained from the mushroom grower surveys is used to establish estimates of area in production, yield per square foot, utilization, volume of sales, average price per pound, and value of sales. Estimates are also prepared for the total amount of mushrooms grown as certified organic and quantity sold from mushrooms certified as organically produced. Revision policy: All mushroom estimates, except intentions, are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data. Reliability: The mushrooms grower surveys are subject to non-sampling errors, such as omissions, duplication, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
