There are dozens of mushrooms now are cultivated here and there in the world. In USA, predominantly, the mushrooms consumed by people are the White-button mushroom, or the Portobello, which is the brown variety of the white cousin, both of them belong to Agaricus bisporus.
 
However, in other parts of the world, other species of mushrooms are cultivated and consumed greatly. In Europe, mushrooms such as Morels (noncultivated), truffles (noncultivated), bolets (noncultivated) etc. are sought and consumed. Morels and truffles are highly priced, especially truffles in some markets have the same price as gold.
 
Morels indeed are widely available in the open space in the springtime of Chile, South America. Morels produced in Chile are solely exported for European consumers.
 
In the Far East such as China, Japan, Korea, mushrooms such as White button mushroom, Shiitake mushroom, Enoki mushroom, oyster mushroom, bear-head mushroom, straw mushroom, etc. are widely cultivated and consumed. In the eye of the public in those countries, indeed, mushrooms of such are regarded heavily as delicacy and healthy foods.
