As a form of fungus, mushrooms are distinguished by their fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting bodies, which usually consist of a cap and a stalk. They are members of the kingdom Fungi and can be found growing in a variety of habitats, such as meadows, woodlands, and decomposing organic materials. Since mushrooms don’t have chlorophyll like plants do, they get their nourishment from the breakdown of organic matter or by developing symbiotic connections with plants. Because they include proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, edible mushrooms—like the common mushroom, Agaricus bisporus—are consumed in large quantities. Furthermore, because of their bioactive chemicals, many mushroom species are utilised in medicine, but others can be dangerous or hallucinogenic and must be carefully identified before being consumed.

Wider distribution and market penetration are further limited in some areas by inadequate cold chain infrastructure.

Additionally, some customer segments may not be able to purchase it because to the comparatively high cost of cultivation when compared to some conventional crops. Lastly, the region’s lack of research and development on novel mushroom types and sophisticated farming methods can impede innovation and competitiveness in the worldwide market.

Harvesting and processing operations were slowed down by the decreased personnel availability brought on by lockdowns and social distancing tactics.
