When I lived in the Pacific Northwest - Northwest BC, Terrace area to be exact - there were so-called pine mushrooms (Ponderosa something-or-other) growing at the base of pine trees apparently 100yrs or older. The university-age tree planters would come up in the summer to plant trees and many would stay on for the fall pine mushroom season.

They were harvested and shipped off to Japan where, dried, a pound of them went for $450. I recall selling two mushrooms, a grade 1A and I think a 2,for $45. I got $35 alone for the 1A. Most of the time though I found, kept and ate grades 4 and 5. Nice cinnamony smell to them, they can get pretty big and seem to retain their flavour quite well.
