- 3. Types of mushroom’s Ediblemushroom +The fungi who have desirable taste and aroma +They bear hypogeous or epigeous fruiting bodies which can be hand picked +High in nutritional value +Many mushroom are used as food and some are used as medicinal NonEdible(Poisonous) mushroom +The fungi does not have desirable taste and aroma for humans +The fungi contains many toxins in which some can be fatal for humans +Only 1% of mushroom population are poisonous Therefore the mushroom needs to be tested for toxins before use as it is very difficult to figure out the poisonous mushroom
- 5. Why mushroom’s areconsidered healthy? +Mushroom has high nutritional value such as +Protein:- they are high in protein around 20-30% by dry weight +Fiber:- they are good fiber which help in lowering cholesterol and good for digestive system +It contains vitamin D, Copper, Selenium(reduce risk of cancer and many diseases), Potassium and many other minerals +They are low in fat, calories and sodium +They do not contain any cholesterol increasing element
- 6. Mushroom in naturalhabitat + Mushroom is a fruiting body of fungi + To propagate, it forms a mycelium initiates growth stage generating spores in the gills for dispersal + The tropics are the richest in overall fungi, and the northern temperate climate is richest in mushrooms. They require a fair amount of water, and not too hot or cold extremes. Over 80% of known mushrooms are symbiotic with plants, and are most common in young-mid age forests. + Asia is perfect for mushroom cultivation
- 7. Mushroom Cultivation + Muchof Asia's environment is suitable for cultivating many different types of mushroom + The cultivation is low cost which help farmers good and financial returns + They help in decomposing dead plant + Due to high use in medicinal and food industry the needs of edible mushroom increased which results in high profitable mushroom industry

- 10. Cultivation of Agaricusbisporous (button mushroom) + For better cultivation there are some conditions to keep in mind • The location should be easily accessible for manure and casing soil • Room should be ventilated • No direct sunlight • The temperature of the room should be approx. 15*C • Soil should not be too moist ± STEPS OF CULTIVATION ARE:- Preparation of compost Filling of beds with compost Spawning(inoculation) of beds Casing Watering of beds Harvesting of mushroom storage

- 20. Preparation of compost +Compost is the substrate on which mushroom grows + Process is known as composting + A synthetic compost is made out of wheat straw which contains + For 25 tray beds Chopped wheat straw(3-6 cm long) 300kg Wheat bran 15kg Calcium ammonium substrate 6kg Superphosphate 7.5kg Urea 2.4g potassium sulfate 3kg Gypsum 30kg Saw dust 10-12kg
- 21. Spread the premixed constituent over the wheat straw surface and mix thoroughly Stack the mixture into a pile of 1.30 m and allow it to compost for 28-30days under aerobic condition Dismantle the heap and prepare pile again by placing the outer compost inside and vice versa this is known as TURNING OF THE COMPOST First turning:-6th day, add more CAN and urea and wheat bran Second turning:-10th day add gypsum and more water Third turning:- after every 3rd day. Last turn on 25th day
- 22. Prepared compost shouldbe brown to dark brownin colour
- 23. Filling of traybeds +Spread the prepared compost on the platform +Mix 3kg of calcium carbonate to it +Compress the compost in the tray using a wooden board leaving 1 cm clear space on the top of the tray
- 24. Spawning + Spawning meansplanting mushroom mycelium + A.bisporus spawn is especially grown on wheat or sorghum grains in specialized spawn laboratories (NCMRT) + Process after spawn are prepared + Maintain the room temperature between 24*C to 25*C for 12-15 days for formation of mycelium strand all over the tray + White cottony mycelium over the compost and change of compost colour from dark to light brown confirm the completion of spawn running period Spread the pawn on tray beds when half filled with compost and again after the tray is filled Gently mixed spawn with fore fingers uniformly Cover the tray with newspaper and sprinle some water for humidity Stack the tray on one other Continue water spraying twice a day depending on the humidity in weather
- 26. Casing + Casing meanscovering the compost with a thin layer of soil or soil like material after the spawn run + Normal soil cant be used in india we use many combination some are + Well rotten cow dung with light soil(3:1) + Soil and sand(1:1) + Farm yard manure and gravel(4:1) + Farm yard manure and loam(1:1) + Soil and peat(2:1) + Spent compost, sand and slaked lime(4:1:1) (commonly used) + There are three steps for proper casing i.e., preparation, sterilization and casing the beds

- 28. Sterilization of casingsoil +Sterilization is done either by chemicals or by heating or by - steam, boiler (70-75*c temp) +Chemicals are formalin, chloropicrin, methyl bromide or vapam
- 29. Casing of bedsRemoval of newspaper sheets after 3 weeks Gently press the compost with the help of wooden board Cover the beds with 2-2.5 cm thick layer of sterilized casing material • Spray water over the casing to maintain 70 to 80 per cent • Observe the beds for mushroom crop which can be expected After 5 to 20 days • Mushroom mostly appear in flushes • After 7 to 8 days at 15*C the button stage form after the first Appearance of the formation of a pun head
