:D Sellin' Shrooms!

Currently prepping for a dog-care job tomorrow in which a pack of six chihuahuas and jack russels will enjoy my undivided attention for eight hours. XD
In addition to that, I've begun my forays into online selling of fungi for medicine and food! So far I've put up a listing for the wonderful Turkey Tail which I use myself on my eBay page. The patches I'm maintaining now in my woods are producing fresh growths for I've got a lot of grams of dried volume to spare. Here is the listing:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/263919138305
I have two whole large shelves of Ganoderma applanatum, which is useful for medicinal teas and tinctures but also people like them for display and for etching scrimshaw purposes. Each is 7 inches wide, tough woody and predried, fresh from this year's growth and about $10.00 each.
I'm also interested in knowing if anyone would be interested in whole dried Scaly Hedgehog mushroom, a nutty and choice edible? I'm keeping them in sealed glass containers post-drying so they'll be good for six months. I've got about three ounces dried volume (which rehydrates to about half a pound) so I'd be looking at roughly $14.00 USD for them.
Also interested in knowing if anyone would want me to go hunting specifically for any types of mushrooms this autumn and winter in order to preserve and offer for sale? Any common North American species is good suggestion for me--I'm eager to go on a search on my acres and in the neighboring National Forest. Medicinals would be especially good for this, as they tend to preserve better than plain edibles. Medicinal plants are also good to suggest--the woods are rife with many species and I'm pretty well-versed in about thirty species' proper usage.
It's an odd thing to bring up on an art site, but health is a pretty important thing. And food. Both things.
I'm also getting weirdly excited for Halloween. ^u^ Hoping I'll have an event I can go to this year, or maybe a home party, something I can get costumed up for. I have ideas. OwO Hope you all have just as much to look forward to, feel free to talk in the comments as I'm goofy and chatty right now. XD

Hmm I admit I'm a bit curious of these mushrooms to see if they are any better than the white mushrooms you can get at the grocery store as I've never been a fan of those. Currently the only mushrooms I know I like at shiitakes.
Scaly Hedgehog mushrooms are really very good, and they're not much like the button mushrooms in taste or texture. These guys are very woodsy, savory, dense-textured. XD My local grocery only just got shiitakes as of this year so for the most part I've been more partial to the kinds I could find in the woods than the little white suckers.
