“Huh ??? They are grown under trees just like any other mushroom .
Evidently you didn’t read the article about some of their food being grown in, or fertalized in raw sewage? Yum Yum! Just the thought of it has me lickin’ my lips. LOL! Riiiight! ;o)”
Sorry, NRA but Sushiman is right. Matsutake is a Japanese name and means Pine Mushroom. Pine as in pine tree.
My wife is a big-time fan of matsutake and says the main reason the Chinese matsutake are not selling is they do not seem to have the aroma or flavor like the excellent matsutake from Oregon, Washington and also Canada.
The cost of these things is outrageous. We just sent some U.S. matsutake to Japan for just about $100.00 per pound.

I don't doubt that you're right, nor did I doubt him, but the Chinese might not be growing theirs under a pine tree. They've used raw sewage as fertilizer and have been growing some things in the sewage. That report came out of China, so I'm not going to doubt them. It's probably one of a few things that they've been telling us the truth about. The white mushrooms are the ones grown in the dark in barns.
