I've paid as much as $30/pound for maitakes at Whole Foods! These are not as delicate or flavorvorful and I'm sure they are cultivated, not wild. But at this price, I'll take em. Delicious sauteed with some onion in butter. Or sauteed in a little oil and soy sauce and used as a topping on noodle salad or rice bowl.
