Last updated: April 2026 dataBoletus mushrooms — prized in European and Asian cuisines for their dense, meaty texture and earthy flavor — are wild-foraged rather than commercially cultivated, making supply highly seasonal and volume-limited. A single 10-digit line (0709520500) covers all fresh and chilled Boletus imports, with no further subdivision by variety or origin. South Africa and Vietnam lead US supply under this heading, an unusual sourcing profile that reflects the global reach of wild mushroom harvesting networks.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Porcini (Boletus edulis) is the most commercially traded species within the Boletus genus and classifies under 0709520500 when imported fresh or chilled. Importers should confirm the scientific genus on documentation, as other wild mushroom genera (Cantharellus, Agaricus, etc.) have their own dedicated headings.
Boletus mushrooms are not commercially cultivated at scale; harvest depends on rainfall, temperature, and forest conditions in source regions. This makes supply volumes and availability highly variable year to year, and importers often work with multiple origin countries — including South Africa and Vietnam — to maintain continuity.
