I should clarify, shiitakes go for $4 for 3oz in the markets. If someone is selling them, wild morels go for $50-$80 per pound here, and you seldom are offered a chance to buy them, and never see them in them markets.

Personally, I like log grown shiitakes better than morels. We have Chanterelles here too, but I've never found them, or didn't know it if I did. The Missouri Dept of Conservation has a great web page with our edible wild shrooms. You can find it here.
