Agaricus mushrooms accounted for 68 percent of the mushrooms sold as certified organic, while all specialty mushrooms made up the remainder. The total certified organic sales of all mushrooms represent 2 percent of the 2011-2012 total mushroom sales. The number of certified organic mushroom growers totaled 51, up 3 growers from the previous season. These growers represent 18 percent of the 279 total mushroom producers. 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 number of growers, 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, quantity sold from mushrooms certified as organically produced and the number of certified organic growers. 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.
