One of the world’s most expensive mushrooms may soon receive protection in the form of a geographical indication (GI) in India.
Indian business news outlet Business Line announced the news on Sunday, January 17.
The mushroom, known as ‘Gucchi’ or ‘Morel’, is grown in India’s Doda district in the territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir’s Department of Agriculture has reportedly filed an application to secure GI protection for Gucchi.
Fetching more than â¹20,000 ($273) per kilogram, Gucchi is one of the costliest mushrooms in the world. Around 45 tonnes of the product is produced annually in Jammu and Kashmir. It tends to be collected by farmers and tribesmen around March after the snow has melted.
