Required Equipment
To grow mushrooms you will require spawn, polypropylene bags, super/substrate such as rice husk or wheat husk, a water spray bottle, rope, stick, and humidity meter.
Substrate Preparation
After boiling (in water) the substrate you will need to dry, bag and add spawn to the substrate in layers.
Incubation
After bagging the substrate and spawn it is time to place your bags in a dark room at 20 to 25 degrees Celsius with humidity levels of 80 to 90%. After approximately 15 to 20 days there should be a covering of white mycelium on the bag.
Harvesting
After 20 days, the bags should be moved to an airy location with light. Within a few days mushrooms will grow from the bags. Bags can be harvested two to three times.
Investment Required
If you have your own space, the initial cost is low. Mushroom spawn of 20 kg costs around 2,400 Tk. Rice bran or wheat husk costs 3,000 Tk. Bags and equipment cost 2,000 Tk. Other costs are about 2,000 Tk. The total investment is around 9,000 Tk, which is about 6,000 to 7,000 Indian Rupees.
Likely Income

Ways to Sell
