A highly specialized six-dimensional performance index was designed to comprehensively analyse complex mushroom enterprises having components and estimates, viz. scale/size of the enterprise (4.225), infrastructure/ machinery employed (4.539), social capital indicators (4.696), efficiency indicators (6.346), good mushroom cultivation practices (5.246) and incremental expansion (3.597). Sixty edible mushroom growing enterprises of Karnataka were selected for this study which concludes that four out of six components showed poor performance. Along with an urgent need to work-out economically optimum size of mushroom units with suitable infrastructure and machinery requirements, the paper presents important policy implications for making Indian mushroom industry globally competitive.
