Wino, if you go to a Kernel's and ask for the popcorn they use to make their caramel corn they will sell it to you. Sometimes you need the manager though, since they sell their regular butterfly kind already packaged and it confuses the counter help when you deviate from the norm, at least at my location. From the kernel's website Choose a location below... 1Lawson Heights 134 Primrose Drive Saskatoon, SK S7K 5S6 (306) 683-2676 kernels.popcorn@sasktel.net 2Midtown Plaza 201 First Avenue South Saskatoon, SK S7K 1J6 (306) 652-2676 kernels.popcorn@sasktel.net And, I don't know if it's the mushroom kind, but I was at the Wholesale club last night, and they have a 50 pound bag for around $37. I was very tempted, but resisted and never asked them about it; am regretting not taking the info on the package though so that I could investigate further. http://wholesaleclub.ca/LCLOnline/home. ... id=4206712Lastly, my Real Canadian Superstore has a bulk section, and the popcorn I bought there several times was a mushroom kind, but they are prone to change what they carry, and the last time it was a butterfly type. Might be worth a shot to try a small amount though.

This is what a 50lb bag of popcorn looks like on the back of a Harley. If you look closely, the bag says Yellow in big Red letters, but there is a "C" hand written in marker. The "C" stands for coating which means this is the Mushroom variety. Imagine all this popcorn for only $20. On my way home, I kept thinking how much popcorn this would pop up to if this were exposed to an extreme heat source.

So I made some Kettle Corn last night and I am very happy with this popcorn. I'm pretty sure it's not the same variety that I had last Sunday, but this variety is awesome. The Kernels pop up very large and for the most part round. This is definitely worth the 40 cents a lb that I paid for it, not including the great ride I had after work last night.

So talanhart, what are your plans for all this mushroom popcorn? Or are you keeping it in the dark?

Todd, thanks for that information on the "c" , I'm going to try and get more information on that 50 lb bag I saw here. Wonder if you could recreate the last scene from "Real Genius" with that popcorn?
