Estimated annual production (fresh weight) and production per week per grower of oyster mushrooms ( Pleurotus spp.) in the United States, 1998-2002. Oyster mushrooms accounted for 14.2 percent (875,600 tons) of the total world production (6,161,000 tons) of edible mushrooms in 1997, the most recent year for which statistics were available. This increase reflects an international trend toward increased production of this crop. The production of oyster mushrooms ( Pleurotus spp.) in the United States has increased at an annual rate of 14 percent during the last 6 years, from 1,941,000 pounds in 1996 to 4,265,000 in 2002. Average oyster mushroom output per farm in- creased 249 pounds (18.3 percent) per week, from 1,359 pounds in 2001 to 1,608 pounds in 2002 (Table 3).
