- The production of mushrooms in agroforestry systems (SAF) can be important and bring considerable economic benefits within the framework of sustainable use to the farmer. Saprophytic and ectomycorrhizal fungi are some of the most important fungi from an economic point of view. Natural saprophytic fungi (Macrolepiota procera, Agaricus spp., Etc.) may be important, for example, in the fallows of alley cropping or in certain silvopastoral systems (newly reforested meadows). However, these mushrooms do not have a great commercial importance. In the riparian buffer strips and hedges, mushrooms are produced in the spring (Morchella spp.) that could reach high prices. It is also possible to grow saprophytic mushrooms in the SAF, as a complementary production to several forest stands. For example, Pleurotus ostreatus in poplar stands or cultivated in different substrates (straw, chips ...) or Lentinus edodes in oak, chestnut or alder woodlands have a high productivity although the productions are seasonal, mainly limited to autumn and spring, unlike the cultivation in climatized areas.
