Mushroom:
• A mushroom is the
fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting
body of a fungus, typically
produced above ground, on
soil, or on its food source.
• 200 types of mushroom are
there, out of which 20 are
edible.
• Mushrooms are critical to the
health of Earth because they
recycle tremendous amounts of
waste.
SCOPE
Increasing Global Demand:
• The global mushroom production in 2017 was 51.2 million
tonnes. China with 38.4 million tonnes production annually
accounts for nearly 75 per cent of the world production.
• Other major mushroom producing countries for are Poland,
France, Italy, Indonesia and Germany. India with 1.5 per cent
contribution ranks eighth in the global mushroom
production.
• The mushroom consumption is mainly concentrated in six
countries known as G-6 (USA, Germany, UK, France, Italy and
Canada) consuming 85 per cent of world consumption.
• The varieties of mushroom cultivated internationally are
button (31%), shiitake (24%), oyster (14%), black ear
mushroom (9%), paddy straw mushroom (8%) and
milky/others.
Increasing Demand in India
• India's production of mushroom was 2.1MT in the
year 2018.
• UP, Tripua, Odisha, Punjab, Haryana, Kerala,
Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jammu &
Kashmir are the major producing States.
• UP, Tripura and Kerala account for nearly 90 per
cent of country's production.
• UP is the leading mushroom growing State
contributing to 80 per cent of the total production.
• In India, mushroom has been a non-traditional cash
crop grown indoors, both as a seasonal crop and
under the controlled environmental conditions.
• Button mushroom is cultivated in temperate regions
of India. Oyster, milky, paddy straw mushroom is
cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions.
• Two to three crops of button mushroom can be
harvested per year under controlled conditions, while
for seasonal button mushroom ,one crop is harvested
per year.
• Till early 1990's, Indian contribution to world trade
was minimal. It gathered momentum as the industry
became organised with establishment of large scale
export oriented units.
• Total mushroom exports from India in 2009-10 were
around 11000 tonnes valued at Rs 66 Crore.
• Major export destinations for Indian mushroom are
US, Israel and Mexico.
• India exports mushroom in two forms-fresh and
prepared/processed.
• Button mushroom accounts for approximately 95 per
cent of total mushroom exports.
• Indian exports have been subjected to non-tariff
barriers and thus the export trend is fluctuating.
• Although the current share of India in world exports is
less than 1 per cent, India has a great export
potential.
• The domestic demand is growing at a rate of
25%.
• Half of the mushroom cultivated in the world
is consumed as fresh.
• The processed products for mushroom are in
dried, canned and frozen form. Half of the
processed mushroom is in canned form.
• Mushroom has short shelf-life due to high
moisture content (85-90 %) and is needed to
be processed within 24 hours.
IMPORTANCE
Nutritive Value
Mushrooms became popular for their food value.
The food values of mushrooms are as follows:
• Mushrooms are the richest source of vegetable
protein.
• The protein content varies from 1.1-4.98% in
common cultivable mushroom (much higher
than pulses, vegetables and fruits).
• All the essential amino acids including lysine
(550 mg/gm) are present in much higher
amount than even egg.
• Mushrooms contain sufficient quantities of
mineral elements such as Na, K, Ca, P and Fe.
• Mushrooms contain folic acid.
• Mushrooms contain vitamins like B, C, D and K.
• They contain little amount of fat (0.35- 0.65%
dry wt.) and starch (0.02% dry wt.).

Medicinal Value
• Mushrooms are pro-biotic. They keep our body
healthy and ward off diseases by strengthening the
immune system.
• Used in medicine since the Neolithic and Paleolithic
eras .
• mushrooms as medicine have been used in China
since 100 A.D.
• Possess anti-allergic, anti-cholesterol, anti-tumor and
anti-cancer properties.
• Have been used in health care for treating simple and
age old common diseases like skin diseases to present
day complex and pandemic disease like AIDS.
• The main components proved to be
polysaccharides especially β–D- glucans, isolated
from the shiitake fruiting bodies, an antitumor
polysaccharide, which was named lentinan.
• Mushrooms cure epilepsy, wounds, skin
diseases, heart ailments, rheumatoid arthritis,
cholera besides intermittent fevers, diaphoretic,
diarrhea, dysentery, cold, anesthesia, liver
disease, gall bladder diseases and used as
vermicides.
• In underdeveloped countries where protein
malnutrition has taken epidemic proportions,
Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has
recommended mushroom foods to solve the
problem of malnutrition.

Economic Value
• Mushroom cultivation is easy and simple with a
shorter crop cycle.
• Mushroom growing has got high employment
potential.
• Mushroom cultivation is a good enterprise for
small farmers and landless farmers.
• Mushroom cultivation is a good enterprise for
farm ladies. About 80% of work force engaged in
mushroom cultivation constitute ladies.
• By mushroom cultivation, our country can earn
foreign exchange through export of
fresh/processed mushrooms.
Environmental Value
• Macro fungus otherwise referred as mushrooms plays
many significant roles in environment.
• Mushrooms degrade complex lignin rich compounds
and thus by it decomposed all lignin rich organic
waste materials from surrounding leading to clean
environmental conditions.
• Mushroom production in India consumes wheat and
paddy straw residues mostly otherwise these residues
are burned in open field which causes significant air
pollution.
• Many mushroom mycelia are successfully exploited in
the certain bioremediation program.
Ecological Value:
• Mushroom contributes different nutrient cycles
in various ecosystems by participating in
decomposition of organic debris.
• Wild mushroom act as a source of food for many
wild lives, which includes insects (beetles, flies,
gnats, springtails, centipedes, etc.), slugs,
squirrels and deer.
• The parasitic mushroom adversely influences
the ecosystem health by means of causing
diseases, reducing growth and fertility of many
wild floras.
• The role of soil health maintenance,
bioremediation and pollution reduction is some
other ecological functions of wild mushrooms.
Mushroom As A Food Substitute:
• Mushroom is a good substitute for the
existing non vegetarian foods like meat, fish
and egg.
• Now it is treated as best item in functions
and feasts since it is highly appreciated by
the people due to its taste and flavour.
• The value added products made from dried
mushroom like candies, papad, powder,
chips, etc. are in great demand.
Other Uses
• Mushrooms can be used for dyeing wool and other
natural fibers. The chromophores of mushroom dyes are
organic compounds and produce strong and vivid colors,
and all colors of the spectrum can be achieved with
mushroom dyes. Before the invention of synthetic dyes,
mushrooms were the source of many textile dyes.
• Some fungi, types of polypores loosely called mushrooms,
have been used as fire starters (known as tinder fungi).
• Mushrooms and other fungi play a role in the
development of new biological remediation techniques
(e.g., using mycorrhizae to spur plant growth) and
filtration technologies (e.g. using fungi to lower bacterial
levels in contaminated water).
