Nice idea this discussion Nate, but about the selling commons bounty to the mushroom market, we used to have Chanterelles in abundance. No more! Some realized there was a lucrative market for them in Japan and now a mushroom that was once abundant is a rarity here.
This is a good point. And I actually thought about it while I was in line at the mushroom depot (this was 3-4 years ago when I had JUST read Tragedy of the Commons for the first time. I researched it and as I understood, the actual mushroom is just the 'fruiting body' of the entire organism and as long as you are careful in cutting it and leaving the mycelium 'roots', then the mushroom would come again next year (or next time conditions were appropriate).
I suspect the jury is still out on all this, but I like picking mushrooms just the same...
