The meat free movement is burgeoning, and along with the desire for plant based diets, the demand for mushrooms is on the increase globally.

Enhancing the prospects for mushrooms will include sustainably producing the crop, along with ensuring packaging is bio-friendly.
Stalker notes that a New Zealand outfit, Meadow Mushrooms, has engaged a local company, Biopolymer Network, to turn the stalks into punnets. They certainly seem to be going in the right direction.
