About the crop

Cultivated mushrooms (mostly Agaricus bisporus) are grown on compost all year round in closed, climate-controlled facilities. Antalya ranks first in Turkish production, with Korkuteli the leading district.

Growing difficulty: Hard It requires closed facilities with controlled temperature, humidity and CO2, plus sterile compost management; any lapse in hygiene or climate control quickly cuts yields.

Climate

Production takes place entirely in a controlled environment; growing rooms are kept at an air temperature of 14–18°C and 85–95% relative humidity.

Growing regions

Antalya leads Turkish production (29.5%), followed by Ankara (18.4%), Isparta (13.7%) and Afyonkarahisar (8.9%) (TurkStat, 2024). Total national output is about 75,000 tonnes.

Cultivation

Grown on compost beds in dark rooms; there is no open-field or greenhouse production. Antalya, Korkuteli in particular, has a large concentration of facilities.

Harvest calendar

There is no seasonal calendar; production runs all year in cycles of about 6–8 weeks tied to the compost cycle.

Main challenges

• Bacterial blotch (Pseudomonas tolaasii)
• Green mould in compost (Trichoderma)
• Mushroom flies and their larvae
• Browning and moisture loss after harvest

Storage

Store at 0–4°C and 85–95% relative humidity. Mushrooms respire very fast and have a short shelf life; at room temperature they last only 1–3 days.
