The global mushroom cultivation market will grow enormously in the coming years. This is evident from the report of QYResourch. They have mapped the market analysis and insights for the global mushroom cultivation market for a period up to 2027. That is a good prospect for the growers of white mushrooms, oysters and shiitake. But growers of other mushrooms will also benefit from this. The analysis focuses on sales, revenue and forecast. The research process involves the study of various factors affecting the industry, including government, policy, market environment, historical data, current trends, technological innovation, risks, opportunities, barriers and challenges. The market estimates in this report are based on the market price of mushroom cultivation. Figures have also been identified through primary and secondary research at mushroom companies. Primary research included interviews with key opinion leaders or industry experts as well as with directors and marketing executives, while secondary research consisted of examining annual and financial reports. All possible factors influencing the markets included in this study have been taken into account, such as inflation, economic downturn and changes in regulations and policies or other factors. But if we can start from these predictions, growers worldwide have a bright future.

Today, consumers are beginning to use one more guideline to determine how to spend their food dollars – sustainability. The public is increasingly curious about where and how their food is produced and what impact it has on the environment; and for good reason, the world’s population is rapidly expanding, and it’s estimated there will be over 9 billion people on the planet by 2050.

A mushroom sustainability study reveals the mighty mushroom not only is healthy on the plate, it’s also gentle on the planet.

The study finds production of a pound of mushrooms requires only 1.8 gallons of water and 1.0 kilowatt hours of energy, and generates only .7 pounds of CO2 equivalent emissions. In addition, the annual average yield of mushrooms is 7.1 pounds per square foot – meaning up to 1 million pounds of mushrooms can be produced on just one acre.
Even though this research is from 2017, it becomes even more relevant in the coming years.

Spring is back in the country and that is the start of the morel season. A good knife and a sharp eye are all it takes to harvest delicious morels.

The morels are mushrooms that grow in the spring. Morels have a spongy, pointed hat that is reminiscent of a honeycomb. Raw morels are poisonous and only edible after heating. The taste of the morels is spicy. Morels are full of fiber and minerals and are therefore also good for your health.

If you plan to do your own research, read carefully so that you don't pick a poisonous species. When collecting morels use a flat box, basket or net bag. Don't use plastic bags as the morels will start to spoil before you bring them home. Another reason is that the spores must be able to fall back to the ground so that new morels will grow again next year. Morels are often found around dead and dying trees. Think of oak, ash and elm. But an old apple orchard is also a good hunting ground.

There are many ways to cook morels, but baking them in butter brings out their rich, almost meaty flavor. You can make it a real springtime celebration by serving them with asparagus during this time of year.

Mushroom Matter is very proud to have mushroom professionals blogging for our platform. We have bloggers from all over the world; in the United States, the Netherlands and Russia. Normally they are traveling the world and visiting and supporting their customers with the mushroom growing process. As everyone knows, travel restrictions due to Corona have impacted everyone, but also the work of our bloggers. A switch to online support is made and in some cases travel within their own countries is again possible!
As we have gained many more followers and readers over the last years on our platform, we would like to introduce again our bloggers to you. This week we place Erik de Groot in the spotlights.

Erik de Groot has been blogging for Mushroom Matter for two years now and writes articles on the mushroom growing process, like harvesting, casing soil, climate control and much more. He lives in California in the US and has his own consultancy company called GLAGS. He supports customers around the globe, like China, Russia, Australia and Europe. When he was a teenager, he was already working with mushrooms as a picker, cleaner and whatever had to be done. At a later stage in life he rented his own farm before deciding to go to work for bigger farms. With several years of experience in the Netherlands, he got involved in consultancy work and started to travel around the world. He writes for several magazins and brings a wide experience and knowledge level to the table, therefore we are happy to have him on board.
