Abstract

This review mainly aims at the importance of mushroom production in Ethiopia for nutrition security and for alleviation of poverty.  It promotes mushroom cultivation in Ethiopia instead of looking at fungi in forests, as we will no longer hunt future possibilities within the forests that grow naturally. The production of horticultural crops like mushrooms is economically valuable in this international conversion. From the overall evaluation of the test, mushroom production in Ethiopia is extremely crucial to achieve meals and dietary safety, clinical value, organic density, and soil fertility. The production of mushrooms has become more important for Ethiopia because it has favorable agro-climatic areas that deserve its production, and its production substrate is certainly waste agriculture products with the aid of merchandise. On the other hand, the use of waste-utilizing merchandise as mushroom substrates is considered a protective environmental pollutant.
