Mushrooms are the fleshy fungi usually formed on the soil or at its food source above ground. Mushrooms have grown as an important food over the years especially for vegetarians. Mushrooms are widely cultivated throughout the world with raising demand from the consumers. The growth in the production of mushroom in global and Indian level were examined from 2000-01 to 2018-19 using information collected from secondary sources. The CAGR was found to about 5.55 percent at global level and 6.13 percent at Indian level for the period of 2000-01 – 2018-19. Increase in consumption level, introduction of new technology, varieties have contributed for the growth in production of mushrooms
