| PMFME | credit linked capital subsidy | Potential fit for eligible micro food processing activities such as value-added mushroom products. Ordinary fresh mushroom cultivation alone is not treated as processing. | under-review | unknown |
| NABARD | model project only | Useful for DPR structure, area-development context and bankability questions. It is not evidence of a current NABARD mushroom subsidy. | under-review | not-applicable |
