Hello Sir
U can grow mushrooms very well in tamilnadu. as tamilnadu is blessed with high humidity.
Mushrooms
are of different types:
a) Button Mushroom
b) Dhingri (Oyster)
c) Paddy Straw Mushroom
Of all the types, button mushroom is the most popular one. Mushroom cultivation can be
done at cottage and small-scale levels besides large-scale farming.
Manufacturing process
(i) Preparing spawn (mushroom seeds): Spawns are readily available in the markets. If desired, the same can be produced and sold commercially.
(ii) Compost preparation: There are several mixtures for compost formation.
It is prepared using wheat/paddy straw into which various nutrients are added.
The compost can be prepared by long or short composting method. In long method 7-8 turns at regular intervals are required for a
period of 28 days.
Good compost is dark-brown, ammonia free, little greasiness and having 65-70% moisture.
Spewing (mixing compost with spawns): For mixing spawn with compost any of the three procedures can be followed:
Layer spewing: Compost is divided into equal layers and spawns spread in each layer. Result is spawning in different layers.
Surface spewing: 3 to 5 cms of compost is remixed, spawns spread and covered with compost.
Through spewing: Spawns are mixed with compost and pressed.
A bottle of spawns is good enough for 35 kg of compost spread over 0.75 sq.mt.area (about 2 trays).
That is, spawn to compost ratio is 0.5%.
Trays are then arranged in tiers in the cropping room and covered with newspapers. 2% formalin is sprinkled over them.
Desired room temperature is around 18'c with 95% humidity.
Casing: spawned compost is covered with sterilized hay, chalk powder etc.
Mushroom growth: Besides temperature and humidity mentioned above, proper room ventilation should be ensured.
Cropping: Mushrooms prop up in 30-35 days. These fungal fruit bodies appear in flushes and harvested when buttons are tightly closed.
In a cropping cycle of 8-10 weeks an average yield of 10 kg mushroom/sq metre is feasible.
