Edible forest mushrooms are one of the main forest foods and an essential resource for forests to achieve the functions of conserving water, bringing in economic benefits, boosting grain production, and also serving as a carbon sink. This study summarizes the current situation of the edible forest mushroom industry in China, such as benign development with imbalanced regional development, scaled planting under forests but lack of regional characteristics and deep processing products, and the advantages of edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms with weak scientific and technological support. Suggestions are put forward on optimizing planning, promoting the investment of scientific and technological resources, accelerating digital intelligence and multi-mode development, conducting climate change monitoring, and protecting germplasm resources, in order to make positive contributions to the development of the edible forest mushroom industry and provide scientific and technological support for the practice of the big food concept.
