The National Forestry Agency's survey has reported the lowest-ever dried shiitake production of 2414 tons in 2019, with a five-year trend of increase and decrease. The production burden of log cultivation is a factor in this decline. In contrast, fresh shiitake production increased by 2% to 71,113 tons, the first time it has been at the 70,000-ton level in eight years. The total mushroom production was 456,442 tons, down by 2% from the previous year, with Enokitake, Buna Shimeji, and Maitake showing decreases, increases, or stable production levels.
