Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the mushroom sector in Poland, which remains the global leader in mushroom exports. The authors diagnose major threats to the industry, including workforce shortages, rising energy costs, peat availability, lack of recognition of spent mushroom compost (SMC) as fertilizer, and insufficient institutional support. The article highlights the need for consolidation and modern R&D infrastructure, while identifying opportunities such as EU funding for innovations and the revival of national industry conferences. The paper has a review and strategic focus.
