Like vegetables and fruits, mushrooms are perishable. After the harvest, they can be conserved at room temperature for not more than 24 hours maximum. Therefore, the grower has to ensure proper packaging and storage for fresh mushrooms and processing for long-term storage as well as value addition. Mushroom processing consists of canning, drying and steeping for long-term storage. Technologies have been developed to make mushroom based food products like mushroom pizza, mushroom curry, mushroom soup powder, biscuits and many more.
