Jeypore. 19th July 2025: Wild mushrooms flood the Jeypore market during the holy Shravan month. The rare Kadha Chhatu is being sold at a premium price, ranging from ₹1,200 to ₹1,400 per kilogram. This seasonal delicacy will likely remain available for around four months.
Locals consider these forest mushrooms not only a tasty addition to meals but also rich in nutrients and medicinal value. Gathered from the dense forest areas by tribal communities, these mushrooms are in high demand among both urban and rural consumers.
