Yes Sir
Of course it is possible to grow.
Button Mushroom (Agaricus spp.) is the most popular mushroom variety grown and consumed the world over.
In India, its production earlier was limited to the winter season, but with technology development, these are produced almost throughout the year in small, medium and large farms, adopting different levels of technology.
The species being grown in most farms is the white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) belonging to Class Basidiomycetes and Family Agaricaceae.
White button mushroom requires 20-280 C for vegetative growth (spawn run) and 12-180 C for reproductive growth.
Besides that it requires relative humidity of 80-90% and enough ventilation during cropping.
U can take on an average 3-4 crops of white button mushrooms in a year depending upon the type and varieties cultivated.
Factors affecting the yield of the crop both in terms of quality and quantity are incidence of pests/pathogens and non-availability of pure quality of spawn.
