Where to get unusual varieties of fresh mushrooms?

Question

I know that mushrooms in Ontario are seasonal, but I'm interested in finding some fresh Chicken of the Woods, Miatakes and Lion's Mane. Does anyone know where I could find some?

Answer

The Big Carrot always has Miatakes There's a mushroom vendor (Fresh and Tasty Mushrooms) at the Brickworks market, they mostly have shitake, shimegi and oyster and sometimes chanteralle but sometime have more exotic.

Answer

I always see Chicken of the Woods at St Lawrence Market. I have seen Lion's Mane at Fiesta Farms. There is also a fungi vendor at Sorauren Farmers Market - they always carry exotic stuff. When I want large quantities of trumpet or oyster mushrooms for cheap, I head to Chinatown.
