Mushroom production as a source of additional income


Twenty five women and aspiring youth have been trained on Mushroom production technique (Milky mushroom production) at our center during this week. Milky mushroom (Calocybe indica) grows well during summer and even our frinds find lot of free time to work with it. So, it is a good idea to start off with mushroom production, during the summer season. isn't it? Come, let us learn how to make mushrooms for dinner or for money.

If you are to produce mushrooms at your home you need to have the following:
1. A small area of about 5'x5' - that can be covered completely to provide darkness.
2. An area of about 10' x 5' - for growing mushrooms.
3. paddy straw - sufficient to your need.
4. Spawn - mushroom seed.
5. other small things like - dettol, stove, utensils, poly covers, twine, knife etc.
Ensuring the above, we can start off producing mushrooms. Let us know in detail..... o.k. stay connected.
