The review describes practical methods of the use of edible fungi: Boletus spp. and Morchella spp. The cultivation of fruit bodies of Morchella esculenta is complicated and unprofitable. During last years, the significance of submerged liquid culture has increased. Harvested biomass contains mushroom aroma compounds and good chemical composition (protein, polysaccharides, vitamins and mineral elements).

Mushrooms and their products are important for their flavour, medicinal properties, ecological and economical values.
