I know this is a duplicated link, at least, I know I've linked to AMI already; this is an important informational source. It is not my intent to demonstrate favoritism, rather to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-access and understand resource.

Again put together by the prolific Paul Patterson, prepared for the Mushroom Council, this study hilights the production area allocated for mushroom cultivation and consumption of fresh mushrooms.

The reader will likely be accustomed to the breakdown by PA, CA, and 'other' at this point in your research. Also, based on the cents per pound data, we can see the heavy influence of the market dominant white button mushroom. If, however, the reader discovers exotic mushrooms for sale for $1-$2 / pound, please contact us via the contact form :-)

This document, also compiled by the NASS, takes 2001, 2002, and 2003 data into account, showing a slight increase in sales and value of mushrooms. It includes state and regional information, including sales volume and per pound pricing, further broken down to brown, agaricus, and specialty mushroom categories.
