Importers typically include countries with large Asian populations or a strong demand for specialty ingredients, such as the United States, Canada, and various European nations. Exporters are predominantly Asian countries like China, which cultivate and process these fungi. Key things to know include the importance of proper drying techniques to maintain quality and the growing interest in these fungi for their potential in health and beauty products, driving consistent demand in niche markets.
