Mushroom prices in Austria in May

UMDIS agency monitored prices in a supermarket Spar in Austria in May 2024.

Austria is one of those countries that takes care of its farmers – that’s why the price of imported and Austrian mushrooms is very different.

The second characteristic feature is the popularity of bio mushrooms the price of which is also significantly higher.

Also in many stores in Austria, besides champignon mushrooms, there are other cultivated mushrooms – in the store where the UMDIS representative was – oyster mushrooms and shiitake.

Prices

1.89 Euro – 500 grams white imported button mushrooms (3.78 per kg)

1.99 Euro – 250 grams white Austrian button mushrooms (7.99 per kg)

2.99 Euro – 400 gram white Austrian button mushrooms (7.48 per kg).

2.49 Euro – 250 grams brown Austrian button mushrooms (9.96 per kg)

2.69 Euro per 200 grams brown Austrian organic button mushrooms (13.45 per kg)

3.99 Euro per 250 grams Austrian bio oyster mushroom (19.95 per kg)

3.99 Euros for 150 grams Austian bio shiitake (26.60 per kg).

Thus – white Austrian button mushrooms (7.48 per kg) are about twice as expensive as white imported button mushrooms (3.78 per kg).

And Austrian brown button mushrooms (9.96 per kg) are about 25% more expensive than similar Austrian white button mushrooms (7.99 per kg).

Bio brown Austrian button mushrooms (13.45 per kg) rounding up are 35% more expencive than the price of non-bio brown Austrian button mushrooms (9.96 per kg).

But for the purchase of a larger package the buyer gets not much bonuses (1.99 Euro – 250 grams so 7.99 per kg in comparison with 2.99 Euro – 400 grams so 7.48 per kg). Using white Austrian mushrooms as an example.
