*DUBLIN, IRELAND / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2020 / *Rich nutrition profile of edible fungus has been garnering the interest of processed food sector. The advent of mushroom cultivation techniques also significantly drives revenue generation in edible fungus market. As projected by a new Future Market Insights (FMI) study, sales of edible fungus are set to cross the billion-dollar mark towards the end of 2030, but is currently witnessing heavy disruptions in supply chain due to COVID-19 pandemic. The problem is further being compounded by demand deceleration. Safeguarding the workforce amidst lockdown measures is a key strategy of edible fungus producers, aiming to sustain operations in the industry. The demand will recover steadily once the pandemic subsides, says the FMI study.

"During the COVID-19 crisis, the edible fungus industry has been pushing to comply with public health guidelines for social distancing, hygiene, and protective equipment for their workforce. On-farm guidance from the CDC, OSHA, and FDA, are influencing producers to set up protocols compliant with regulations from state and local public health and agriculture officials," says the FMI analyst.
