Abstract
Edible fungus is a large fungus distributed all over the world and used as food and medicine. But people's understanding of edible fungi is not as much as that of ordinary crops, so people have started a number of research on edible fungi in recent years. With the development of science and technology, omics technology has gradually walked into people's vision. Omics technology has high sensitivity and wide application range, which is favored by researchers. The application of omics technology to edible fungus research is a major breakthrough, which has transferred edible fungus research from artificial cultivation to basic research. Now omics technology in edible fungi has been flexibly combined with other research methods, involving multiple studies of edible fungus, such as genetic breeding, growth and development, stress resistance, and the use of special components in edible fungus as pharmaceutical additives. It is believed that in the future, the research of edible fungi will also be brought to a deeper level with the help of omics technology. This paper introduces the application progress of modern omics technology to the study on edible fungi and mentions the application prospect of edible fungi research with the constant development of omics technology, thereby providing ideas for the follow-up in-depth research on edible fungi.
