Is transportation creating wealth? When you transport product from the producer to the customer does it add value?

No. Transportation is a service that adds cost, not value. As such, transportation should be minimized.

For example if the wild mushrooms are picked in the forest and brought to the store near you is it a service or production?

You have described two distinct activities.

1. Harvesting the mushrooms is production.
   It has added value by creating a marketable good.
2. Transporting the mushrooms to the store is a service.
   It adds cost, not value.
   The mushrooms are exactly the same as when they were picked.
   They're merely in a different location, nothing has been created.

When your dentist fixes your teeth is it producing some value/wealth?

The dentist has performed a service, but no wealth has been created.
You may be healthier, but not wealthier.
Your wealth has been transfered to the dentist in return for his service.

Harvesting the mushrooms is production. It has added value by creating a marketable good. Transporting the mushrooms to the store is a service.

In what point the harvesting ends and transporting being? When you move mushrooms up from the ground is harvesting, but when you move horizontally is transporting?

BTW, mushrooms become marketable only when they reach the market or at least the road. So maybe harvesting ends and servicing when you cross the border of the forest?

"When your dentist fixes your teeth is it producing some value/wealth?"

The dentist has performed a service, but no wealth has been created.

But if he ruins your teeth and you get artificial ones you get wealthier, since you carry a manufactured product in your mouth?

Willy, I expect from you more than from free-marketeers who stick to the rigid formulas :)

Willie, you are a fan of public transportation, right? So you want people to buy train tickets instead of cars. But cars are goods and train tickets are services. Car manufacture will plummet; train manufacture will increase somewhat but not nearly enough to offset that. You proposal destroys wealth!
