MUSHROOM CULTIVATION

Mushrooms

• The large, macroscopic,spore-bearing, fruitingbodies of fungi aregenerally referred to asmushrooms.

• Of the estimated 1.5million species of fungi,about 69,000 produce thefruiting bodies we callmushrooms.

3

Mycophagy

• Mycophagy, the act of consuming mushrooms, datesback to ancient times.

• First reliable evidence of mushroom consumption datesto several hundred years BC in China.

• Ancient Romans and Greeks, particularly the upperclasses, used mushrooms for culinary purposes.

• The Greeks regarded them as providing strength forwarriors in battles.

• The more ancient Aztecs and the Egyptian pharaohsconsidered the edible fungus to be the food of the gods.

4

Edible Mushrooms

• Edible mushrooms are the fleshy and ediblefruiting bodies of several species of macrofungi.

• Edible mushrooms are consumed by humansas comestibles for their nutritional value andmedicinal value.

• 2000 species from more than 30 genera are

• regarded as prime edible mushrooms.

• These mushrooms are wild but now many of thespecies are cultivated commercially.

Mushroom Production

• People have harvested mushrooms from the wild forthousands of years for food and medicines.

• Chinese first cultivated Lentinula edodes around 1100AD.

• White button mushroom was fist cultivated in France in1650.

• Commercial production began in the United States in the1880s.

• Agaricus is the leading mushroom crop worldwide (30%)

• Pleaurotus ranks second(25%)

• Lentinula is third most cultivated mushroom worldwide(10%) 14

• Roughly 2000 mushroom species from more than 30genera are regarded as prime edible (Chang, 1991).

• But only 30 have been domesticated and 10 are growncommercially. Button, oyster, and shiitake mushroomsmake up about 70% of the world’s production.

• During the past 30 years, mushroom production worldwideincreased twenty-fold, with much of that increaseoccurring in the 1980s and 1990s.

• Asian countries continue to dominate world productionand consumption.

15

The Global Mushroom Production

• Global Scenario About the mushroom marketing, StanHughes said “Mushroom growers have mystified me foryears. They put so much effort into growing and so littleinto selling”.

• For effective and efficient marketing, especially export, itis necessary to understand the global trade vis-à-vis thesources of supply, potential regions of demand andconsumption patterns.

16

The Global Mushroom Production as per FAO Statistics

• The global mushroom production as per FAO Statisticswas estimated at about 2.18 to 3.41 million tons overperiod of last ten years (1997-2007).

• Since there was an increase of about 56% worldmushroom production in last decades and estimates canbe put on current production to be around 3.5 milliontons.

17

Major Mushroom Producing Countries• China, USA, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, France, Italy,

Ireland, Canada and UK are the leading producers.

• The three major mushroom producing countries as FAOdata China is leading in mushroom production accounts70% of the total.

18

• USA is second followed by Europeans countries.

• Production in European countries is confined toGermany, Italy, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Polandand others

• In Asian countries the scenario is different and otherspecies are also cultivated for commercial production.

• World mushroom production (FAO Stat) is continuouslyincreasing from 0.30 to 3.41 million tons over period ofabout last 50 years from 1961 to 2010.
