Introduction
Mushroom was classified as a non-green thallophyte. It
belonged to the plant kingdom in the two-kingdom
system of classification. However, a detailed study of
their characteristics revealed that they are not plants.
They are different from plants and animals. They belong
to the separate kingdom of fungi. Most of them are wild
mushrooms. Only few of them are cultivated as a source
of food. Parale chyau ,Shitake chyau ,Gobre chyau
(Agaricus bisporus),kanne chyau (Pleurotus
Sajarcaju) ,Kathe Chyau (Laccaria Leccata) etc. are
common in Nepal.

Significance of the study
There are a lot of significance of mushroom like economic
importance of mushroom ,health benefit of mushroom etc.
Economic significance of mushroom :

Agricultural Sector: Mushroom cultivation is a lucrative agricultural activity. It
requires relatively low space and investment compared to traditional crops,
making it an attractive option for farmers. High-yield and quick turnover mean
that mushrooms can be a profitable crop, contributing to the income of
smallholders and large-scale producers alike.
Food Industry: Mushrooms are a staple ingredient in many cuisines around the
world. Their demand supports a wide range of businesses, from local markets and
supermarkets to high-end restaurants and food manufacturers. The food industry
benefits from mushrooms’ versatility and nutritional value, driving their
integration into processed foods and dietary supplements.
Employment: The mushroom industry creates jobs in several areas, including

farming, harvesting, packaging, distribution, and retail. This employment ranges
from farm workers and skilled technicians to sales and marketing professionals. In
many regions, mushroom farming provides significant employment opportunities,
contributing to local economies.
Health benefit of mushroom
Mushrooms offer a variety of health benefits, thanks to their unique nutritional

profile and bioactive compounds. Here are some key benefits:
1. Rich in Nutrients: Mushrooms are a good source of essential vitamins and

minerals, including B vitamins (like riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic
acid), vitamin D, selenium, copper, potassium, and iron.
2. Antioxidant Properties: They contain antioxidants such as ergothioneine
and glutathione, which help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body and
may reduce oxidative stress.
3. Immune Support: Certain types of mushrooms, like shiitake and maitake,
have compounds that can boost the immune system. They contain beta-
glucans, which can enhance the activity of immune cells
4. Potential Cancer-Fighting Properties: Certain mushrooms, like reishi and
maitake, have been studied for their potential anticancer effects, although
more research is needed in this area.
5. Blood Sugar Regulation: Some studies suggest that mushrooms can help
regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making them a
good addition to a diabetic-friendly diet.
Incorporating a variety of mushrooms into your diet can provide these benefits and
add interesting flavors and textures to your meals. Just be sure to consume
mushrooms that are safe to eat and avoid those that are wild and not properly
identified
Limitation of the study
Mushroom farming can be a rewarding endeavor, but it does come with its own set
of challenges. Here are some common limitations:
1. Environmental Control
2. Space Requirements
3. Substrate Quality and Preparation
4. Contamination Risks
5. Market Fluctuations
6. Initial Investment
7. Labor-Intensive
8. Waste Management
9. Regulatory Concerns
Despite these limitations, many people find mushroom farming to be a viable and
profitable business with proper planning and management.
Study area
Methodology
First, we visit the mushroom farm on the children day
after school. We have an interview with the owner. Then
we asked the owner a question. How to do mushroom
farming, types of mushroom found in the world, Nepal,
itahari. Eatable mushroom types, poisonous mushroom
types. How to know that the mushroom is eatable or
poisonous? Advantage of mushroom farming.
Disadvantage of mushroom farming. Importance of
mushroom and mushroom farming. The process of
mushroom farming. The chemical used in mushroom
farming.
Data presentation
The majority of the population (66%) in-country “Nepal” are engaged in

agriculture. However, domestic production finds it difficult to meet the
annual demand of the people. Hence, people are moving from subsistence
agriculture to embrace mushroom farming. This study focuses on economic
analysis and analysis of the present status of mushroom farming and
enterprise in this country.
S.n. Types of Mushroom % found in Nepal

1. Agaricus Bisporus 11%
2. Pleurotus sajorcaju 8%
3. Lentinula edodes 7%
4. Agaricus bisporus (Ktm) 9%
5. Morchella esculenta 8%
From this table, we can know how much % of mushrooms are found all over
Nepal. There are very few mushrooms found in Nepal. There are other types of
mushrooms which is found in Nepal. There are 1150 mushroom species
found in Nepal. Schizophyllum commune, Scleroderma citrinum,
Tremella sp., and Trametes versicolor, which are also found in the
natural temperate (Schima – Castanopsis - Rhododendron – Quercus)
forests of Kathmandu valley. They are the medical mushrooms found
in Nepal.
