It is a complicated, enormous, fleshy fruiting body of a fungus (such as a basidiomycete) that typically consists of a stalk containing a pileus. The main types of mushrooms are button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and others. Button mushrooms are gilled fungus that naturally occurs in Europe and North America.

The increasing demand for a vegan diet is expected to propel the growth of the mushroom market. A vegan or plant-based diet excludes all animal products, meat, dairy, and eggs. Many consumers are moving towards vegan diets due to health, animal welfare, and environmental concerns, and because of this, the consumption of mushrooms is increasing. For instance, in May 2024, the Plant Based Foods Association, a US-based trade association, reported that in 2023, US e-commerce sales of plant-based foods reached $394 million, growing 16.4% annually with a 6.8% online market share, while 62% of households bought plant-based products and 81% repurchased. Thus, the rising demand for a vegan diet is driving the mushroom industry.
