i don't know a lot about truffles, how didn't anyone come up with a way to plant and grow them yet?
Fungus is complicated
yes, but 700 bucks for 200g... if i studied biology instead of my current course i would definitely make it my life goal to find a way how to grow various mushrooms.
It's that expensive because it's hard to farm. If it can be reliably farmed the price would likely go down.

Weird because this grocery store I'd go to always had a ton of orchids on sale. For cheap.
You do now, that's the point. It used to be basically impossible to cultivate orchids, then they found the trick to doing it (some fungus or bacteria or something), and now you can buy them everywhere.
