TAILIEUCHUNG - Small-scale mushroom cultivation

Do you want to grow mushrooms? There are plenty of reasons to do so. Mushrooms are a good cash crop; they are rather easy to grow and are brimming with protein, B vitamins and minerals. They even have medicinal properties. Time between spawning and harvesting can be as short as three weeks. Furthermore, after the cultivation, you can still use the substrate as a good soil conditioner. This Agrodok gives you detailed information on the cultivation of oyster, shiitake and wood ear mushrooms. Although many other types of mushrooms can be grown, we have chosen the ones that can easily be cultivated in developing countries using appropriate technology. When choosing. | Agrodok 40 Small-scale mushroom cultivation oyster shiitake and wood ear mushrooms Peter Oei with contributions by Bram van Nieuwenhuijzen 2005 Agromisa Foundation and CTA All rights reserved.

These mushrooms are rather easy to grow on a small scale. Cultivation of the common white button mushroom and of the rice straw mushroom is very different and will therefore be dealt with in another Agrodok. Much of the information presented here is from my book Mushroom cultivation and appropriate technologies for commercial mushroom growers . By concentrating on three mushroom species only and on relatively simple technologies I hope readers can obtain a sustainable profit from mushroom growing. Bram van Nieuwenhuijzen was the director of the Mushroom Growers Training Centre nowadays known as C Point at Horst The Netherlands for a number of years. He is currently involved in mushroom cultivation projects in several countries as an adviser through PUM Netherlands Senior Experts in The Hague.
