This Agriculture Communications review warns that rising heat, shifting rainfall, and extreme weather could cut mushroom yields and disrupt supplies. Cultivated varieties may suffer from pests, pathogens, and higher energy costs, while prized wild species like truffles (Tuber melanosporum), matsutake (Tricholoma matsutake), and caterpillar fungus (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) risk major habitat loss.
