This paper analyzes the characteristics of China’s edible fungi industrial development, accurately grasps the outstanding problems in the process of edible fungi development and sets up the basic ways to healthily develop such industry, which has both important theoretical and practical meaning in working out the problems of edible fungi’s fast development.Therefore, this paper makes a descriptive analysis on the basic characteristics of China’s edible fungi industrial development.The result shows that firstly the total output of edible fungi increases rapidly from less that 60 000 tons in 1978 to over 22 million tons in 2010.Secondly, there are a great variety of edible fungi, among which cap fungus, mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, edible tree fungus and Asparagus are bulk varieties.Thirdly, big industrial Provinces are increasingly emerging, among which the output and value of output of edible fungi in Shangdong Province, Henan Province, Fujian Province and Jiangsu Province have always been in the forefront in the whole country.Fourthly, export of edible fungi sometimes fluctuates but it is generally on the rise.Japan, Southeast Asia, EU and North America are the main exporting markets of China’s edible fungi.Consequently, this paper analyzes problems in industrial development of China’s edible fungi, these problems include lower scalization, volatile price in the market, extensive productive method, imperfect market circulating system and quite slow processing industry.Finally, this paper puts forward several policy suggestions on how to promote the healthy development of China’s edible fungi industry.
