ABSTRACT
The last 20 years have seen a very rapid increase in the global mushroom sector due to the introduction of newer types of mushrooms for commercial growing. Even Nevertheless Indian consumers do not regularly consider mushrooms to be vegetables. Because the state’s per capita land holding is falling, mushroom cultivation is a beneficial option for the cultivators. This research examines the global trend and expansion of mushroom cultivation, particularly in India.
