Its popularity is increasing day by day and it has become a business that is export-oriented. Mushroom is an excellent source of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fibers, minerals, folic acid and is a good source of iron for anemic patients and is described as one of the best options to convert agro-wastes into quality proteins. Per capita consumption of mushrooms in India has increased from 25 g to 40 g in the last 10 years. However as per Indian estimates per capita consumption in India is about 90 g, which is very less compared to and China (1.16 kg).
