India produces about 600 million tonnes of agricultural waste per year and a major part of it is left out to decompose naturally or burnt.

Commercial production of edible mushrooms bioconverts the agricultural, industrial, forestry and household wastes into nutritious food (mushrooms).

By just diverting 1% of agro-wastes towards mushroom production, India can produce 3 million tonnes of mushroom and about 15 million tonnes of compost.

The site should be nearer to the road and market.The site should be surrounded by the water source, raw

material etc.The floor of the mushroom house should have a gentle

slope. Availability of cheap labor in abundance. Proper power supply should be at the chosen site. Nearness to the market for the proper disposal produce.

Proper hygienic conditions should be observed. Compost must be pasteurized/ sterilized. Compost should be ammonia (NH3) free (not more than 8-

10 ppm ) and pH should be in between 7.2-7.5 at spawning. During spawn run the beds are covered with papers, should

be moistened twice a week with formalin. Temperature and relative humidity in the crop room should

be maintained as per requirement of the crop. Stumps and dead mushrooms must be removed regularly

from the beds.
