Currently the complex includes mycelium production section, spawn production section, the section on mushrooms forcing and their preparation for realization, scientific-control section and 12 subsidiary services and sections. The number of persons employed is around 200.
By 2001 our specialized complex, not having reached the planning productive capacity level, produces 60 thousands liters of mycelium monthly (the largest production in Russia), 300 tons of spawn, up to 35 tons of mushrooms.
