Ethical concerns about animal welfare also motivate many people to adopt a vegan lifestyle, as they seek to avoid supporting the exploitation of animals. Dried mushrooms play a significant role in this shift toward veganism by offering a rich, umami flavor and a meaty texture that enhance plant-based dishes.

Furthermore, plant-based food sales grew by 6.6% in 2022 compared to 2021. This growing interest in vegan food is therefore driving demand for dried mushrooms.
