Executive Summary
Mushroom is an important vegetable usually grows in the forest with its nutritive and medicinal value. It can also be cultivated domestically in a small scale by landless people. The climate of Bangladesh is highly favorable for high volume of mushroom production. The cultivation of mushroom is one of the lucrative agricultural jobs. In our study the profitability of mushroom cultivation was found comparatively higher than that of rice and wheat, the most popular cash earning crops in Bangladesh. As funding to promote the production and consumption of mushrooms is limited, local government and NGOs can play vital role to develop mushroom agriculture to arise at industrial level which can create ample employment opportunities both in semi-urban and rural areas. Mushroom, a nutrient-dense versatile food can share some of the benefits of fruits and vegetables and complement almost any everyday meal. Mushroom production also requires low technology, low investment and can be homegrown in very little space. In addition, women can be employed in mushroom culture. Due to culinary, nutritional and health benefits, the mushroom market is expected to grow as "a food, a tonic and a medicine". Therefore, this report shows that the potential of mushroom cultivation could be a possible offer tremendous opportunity for employment and develop the life style of the people in Bangladesh. In a nutshell, an effective and efficient utilization of mushroom can bring a revolutionary change in the entire economic condition in terms of employment, social lifestyle, global market value and others.
