🌱 What is Mushroom Farming?
Mushroom farming is the cultivation of fungi for commercial or personal consumption. Unlike traditional crops, mushrooms require low space, no sunlight, and less water, making them ideal for indoor or shaded environments.
There are various types of mushrooms grown in India, the most common being:
-
Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)
-
Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus spp.)
-
Milky Mushrooms (Calocybe indica)
-
Shiitake & Medicinal Mushrooms (advanced level)
