The article presents and analyzes the indicators of the production of cultivated mushrooms. Mushroom cultivation is a promising area in agribusiness, which can bring significant profits and at the same time solve a number of pressing problems of our time. With the growing demand for environmentally friendly and nutritious products, mushrooms are becoming an excellent option for sustainable agriculture. Increasing mushroom production can also significantly increase their market availability. This, in turn, will help improve food security in the country by providing the population with high-quality and affordable products. Mushrooms are an excellent source of protein and other nutrients, which makes them an important element of the diet. Over the past 20 years, global mushroom production has grown at an average annual growth rate of 8.26%. The mushroom market has grown significantly in recent years. Industrial mushroom farming is actively developing in the Russian Federation. In recent years, 85 enterprises have been opened. The average annual growth rate of fresh mushroom production was 11.7%. Champignons de and oyster mushrooms (ostrea fungus) are mainly grown in Russia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of production of cultivated mushrooms in the Russian Federation and in the world in terms of food security. The literature for this review was obtained from research articles, review articles, and book chapters published in journals (indexed by SCOPUS, SCIE, and ESCI) or by publishers (e.g., Elsevier). First, a pool of literature was created from all relevant works related to the field of review from reputable sources such as Elibrary.ru , Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, Springer Nature, etc.

Key words: cultivated mushrooms, mushroom farming, mycelium, production volume
