Abstract
Mushroom cultivation is an economic activity, providing high income in narrow space, having more than one production opportunities in a year and not requiring agricultural lands. Mushroom cultivation, which has come into prominence in Korkuteli as from early 1990s, has been substantially performed as family-owned management. Due to its effect increasing income and employment, it makes a great contribution to the local economy. Closeness to important touristic centers, establishment of compost production facilities required for mushroom, and suitability of temperature and humidity conditions have made a significant contribution to development of mushroom cultivation in Korkuteli. However, ever-growing costs, requirement of technical labor force, and commitment to traditional agricultural activities have prevented the mushroom from being one of main living sources.
