India’s Mushroom Future

India’s Mushroom Future

India produces 0.33 million tonnes of mushrooms yearly, led by button (Agaricus bisporus), oyster (Pleurotus spp.), and milky (Calocybe indica). Mushrooms recycle vast crop waste, boost nutrition, and support rural jobs, but scaling up needs better infrastructure, cold chains, and disease control.
