Mushroom Farming Setup in India
- A sterile and well-ventilated growing space: Mushrooms require a clean, temperature-controlled environment in order to grow properly. A basement or garage that can be sealed off from outside contaminants is a good option.
- Spawn: Spawn is the mushroom equivalent of seeds. It is used to introduce the mushroom mycelium (the vegetative part of the mushroom) into the growing medium. Spawn can be purchased from a mushroom supplier. Here’s another step of the process KisaanMitrr and its agri consulting services can assist you.
- Growing medium: The growing medium is the substance in which the mushrooms will grow. Common options include straw, sawdust, or a mixture of the two. You should sterilize all mediums to kill all potential contaminants.
- Moisture control equipment: Mushrooms require a specific level of moisture in order to grow properly. You will need a humidifier and a hygrometer to monitor and maintain the humidity levels in your growing space.
- Lighting: Mushrooms do not require sunlight to grow, but they do need a light source. You can use fluorescent grow lights or LED grow lights to provide the necessary light for your mushrooms.
