- Mushrooms are
fleshy, spore-bearing reproductive structures of fungi.
- For a long time,
wild edible mushrooms have played an important role as a human
food.
- Mushroom
production is completely different from growing green plants.
- Mushrooms do not
contain chlorophyll and therefore
depend on other plant material (the “substrate”) for their food.
- Mushroom, a
protein-rich wonder food which does not have any publicity as it
deserves.
- It is this
precious vegetable that would solve the problem of protein
malnutrition in our country.
- Coffee pulp,
either as a sole substrate or supplemented with other organic
materials, can be used as a substrate for growing the edible
mushrooms Pleurotus, Lentinula, and Auricularia.
- Four types of
mushrooms viz., white button, oyster, paddy straw and milky
mushrooms have been adopted by farmers/ entrepreneurs at
marginal and commercial scale in different parts of the country
at present.
- Mushroom
cultivation is a well-established and profitable
biotechnological process carried out worldwide on a large or
small scale.
- From a production
standpoint, the white button mushroom has the highest growth
rate and potential for production.
- The supply and
demand gap in the world trade of mushrooms and the shrinkage of
production in countries like Taiwan and South Korea due to high
labor costs would result in better market prices for Indian
mushroom producers.
- Cultivated
mushrooms are edible fungi that grow on decaying organic matter,
known as a substrate.
- Mushrooms have a
high nutritional value and are high in protein.
- They are also a
good source of vitamins (B1, B2, B12 and C), essential amino
acids, and carbohydrates but are low in fat
and fibre and contain no starch.
- It is also known
to have medicinal values and certain varieties of mushrooms can
inhibit
growth of cancerous tumor.
- Many by-products
from agricultural production and food processing can be used as
growing media in mushroom production.
- The market for
mushrooms continues to grow due to interest in their nutritional
and health benefits.
- The market for
mushrooms has been expanding in recent years.
- The trend is away
from the canned product toward fresh and dried mushroom sales.
- Recently The
Packer, a produce industry weekly, reported that, according to a
recent marketing survey, of the families that
purchased mushrooms in the previous year, 86% purchased button
mushrooms and 70% purchased specialty species.
- U.S. fresh-market
sales are the largest market for mushrooms; an estimated 85
percent of total annual sales in CY 2007/08 were of mushrooms
for the fresh market.
- Currently, oyster
mushrooms are currently being produced in Uganda for the dried
export market.
- Shiitake mushrooms
have been commercially grown in the United States for over 20
years and are now well accepted by American gourmet markets.
- Mushroom
cultivation is a good example for the use of forestal not-timber
resources.
- The majority of
mushrooms are grown in the border counties of Ulster, the North
West, the
Midlands and the South East.
- As mushrooms
become increasingly popular, consumers are searching for more
and more variation within them in terms of colour, texture and
shape of cap/length of stalk. The recent increase in demand for
brown, oyster and shiitake mushrooms reflects this trend.
- Demand for
mushrooms is at a peak during the winter/spring /autumn months
as they are used extensively in the preparation of hot vegetable
based dishes.
- Small-scale
mushroom production is now being carried out in many rural and
suburban peasant communities throughout the country.
- The mushroom
production was sold directly by mushroom growers to retailers
who marketed it directly to consumers.
- Mushrooms have
been valued throughout the world as both food and medicine for
thousands of years.
- Mushrooms are
gradually becoming popular as they are rich in minerals and
vitamins and very low on fat and sugar.
- Mushrooms are very
popular in most of the developed countries and they are becoming
popular in many developing countries like India.
