I don’t know how the FDA regulates the word “wild” but I doubt that the supermarket’s definition of wild is the same definition of wild for the average consumer. https://thrivemeetings.com/2016/06/19-must-know-food-labels/

We have an indoor mushroom farm near us where most store bought mushrooms are sourced. I also have a BIL on Vancouver Island who picks mushrooms in the forest and sells the to a local distributor who in turn sells them to restaurants and others.

You can also buy a rotating log which has been inoculated with spoors so you can grow your own.
