The latest report from the man behind the Ulster Fry Index - Ulster Bank Chief Economist Richard Ramsey - shows that produce prices have skyrocketed, as we are all well aware.
The breakdown in the prices is shown in the graphic elsewhere on these pages, but it is interesting to note that mushrooms were the least inflationary-hit item on the ulster fry index.
That has got to be good news for the industry - as shoppers habits have altered considerably over the past year - the subbing of products that are seen to be less prone to price rises, is on the up.
With mushrooms holding relatively stable compared to other items, the canny consumer will undoubtedly be choosing more of the same!
Nevertheless, the rises in prices continue to startle and amaze - it certainly shows that we are living through a nigh-on unprecedented inflationary period.
Experts are predicting a sharp fall in inflation levels by the end of the year - many consumers and businesses will be keeping the digits firmly crossed for that to transpire.
