This study analyzes research trends in mushrooms using social network analysis (SNA) and Word2Vec analysis based on 654 papers published in the journal of mushrooms. By tracking changes in research trends through centrality indices of key keywords and temporal keyword associations, it was found that in the early period (2011–2015), research primarily focused on optimizing growth conditions. During the mid-period (2016–2020), studies on strain characteristics and disease resistance became more prominent. In the recent period (2021–2024), research on molecular biology and functional components has expanded significantly, with molecular biology research, substrate and cultivation environment studies, and quality and functional food research emerging as new research areas. Meanwhile, research on Pleurotus ostreatus has been the most active, whereas studies on other mushroom species remain relatively limited, indicating the need for a broader scope in future research. This study provides an in-depth review of the research trends and transformations in the journal of mushrooms, contributing to the discussion on its balanced development and future research directions.
