I had both matsutake mushroom and shiitake mushroom before.
I can admit that matsutake mushroom smells good, and the taste is also good. But if both of them go at the same price, I don't think that matsutake becomes at a premium.
For example, it is whale meat.
Though whale meat is very difficult to eat because of a luxury food now, the meal had been supplied for school-provided lunch.
It is used as alternative beef or pork, and one of the worst food for children at the days,
Banana is also same. It had been the most popular food and until it was imported from some countries of east-south Asia.
"Banana park" in Atami was established by the person who tried to run a prosperous banana business, and fell in business after all.
I was recently informed that shiitake had also been luxury food, it had been given up to the shogunate.
The reason why the shiitake price went down dynamically was to establish the vegetation technology, using round woods.

We have to have illusions for the value in order to keep this society,
For example, "no shared illusion of the values of money, no establishment of money economy"
Even them, we can say that,
"A thing we believe valuable seems to be quite groundless unexpectedly"
