About This Calculator

The mushroom farming industry in Canada is growing rapidly, with gourmet species like oyster, lion's mane, and shiitake commanding $8-16/lb at retail and $5-10/lb wholesale. This mushroom business calculator helps you estimate real-world revenue and profit margins based on your species, production volume, and cost structure.

Typical small-scale mushroom farms running 25-50 blocks per week can generate $30,000-$80,000 in annual revenue with profit margins of 40-60%. The key variables are your selling price (retail vs. wholesale), your spawn and substrate costs, and your labor efficiency. For a complete breakdown of startup costs and planning, see our guide to starting a mushroom farm in Canada.
