Mushroom is a type of fungus. It is also a delicious food. At present mushroom has become quite popular as a food in Bangladesh like other countries. Commercially Masrum Chas is also being done. There are about 3 lakh species of mushrooms in the world. Of these, about 290,000 species are inedible. About 10,000 species of mushrooms are being researched.   

Sage mushroom, gutti or button mushroom, milk white mushroom, wester mushroom, straw mushroom are being cultivated in Bangladesh. Many people are encouraged to grow mushrooms as they are more profitable. Mushroom cultivation is a profitable business. Mushrooms can be cultivated on a small or large scale. Mushrooms are cultivated from spoons. These spawns are created in the laboratory.[Mushroom ]


Not all fungi are mushrooms. Mushrooms are the only edible fungi. That is, all mushrooms are fungi but not all fungi are mushrooms. Although there are 3 target species of fungi in the world, only 200 species of edible fungi and mushrooms have been found so far. Of these, 30 species can be cultivated on a commercial basis and 10 on an industrial scale. It should be noted that each species has numerous cultivated strains (borns). At present, the National Mushroom Development and Extension Center has 157 cultivated mushroom strains.


Also, collection of 170 native mushroom strains and research on their cultivation is going on.

Mushroom is a potential new crop which is being expanded nationwide by the "National Mushroom Development and Extension Center" affiliated to the Department of Agriculture Extension and its 16 sub-centres. Considering the importance of mushrooms, the Bangladesh government has recently approved the Mushroom Development Institute. This institution is working to collect, preserve, adapt the varieties to the climate of Bangladesh and develop and expand the cultivation technology of new species of mushrooms.


As there are very few books on mushroom, it is possible to make the article more informative and practical by contacting the National Mushroom Development and Extension Center before publishing any article. It is good to say that the farming system of our country is very different from the farming system of other countries of the world.


Places suitable for cultivation:


Mushrooms cannot be cultivated in open ground. So it does not require arable land. For mushroom cultivation, houses should be made with thatch or bamboo sheds in a shaded area. Houses can also be built with mud walls. Bamboo fence can also be given. To prevent light from entering the house, bamboo fences have to be covered with soil. 


Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Method:


Mushroom cultivation can be started by collecting oyster mushroom seeds or spawn and other necessary materials. Mushroom cultivation is done step by step.


1. Mushroom seeds or spawn packets should be collected from the mushroom cultivation center. The seed or spawn should be slightly rounded on both sides and squeezed.


2. Soak the mushroom packet in water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the mushroom packet from the water.


3. The mushroom packet should be kept upside down for 5 to 10 minutes to drain the excess water. If the water falls, it should be left in the designated place of the house. Water should be sprinkled on it three to four times daily. 


4. Generally after 3 to 4 days sprouts grow from the cut area. After sprouting, water should be sprinkled occasionally.


5. It takes 5 or 6 days to produce edible mushrooms. When edible mushrooms are produced, they must be picked from the roots.


6. The area where the seed was cut should be slightly pinched with the blade. Mushrooms will grow from these seeds.


7. 3-4 times mushroom is obtained from one half kg seed or spawn packet. A total of 200 to 250 grams of mushrooms will be found in it.


Precautions:


1. The seeds or spawn should not be exposed to sunlight in any way. Always keep the room cool. If it is too hot, you should hang sacks around the house and keep it wet.


2. The mushroom house and the outside of the house should always be kept clean. An insect called the mushroom fly damages the mushrooms in unsanitary areas. 


3. Pesticides cannot be used.


Income and Profit Account:


Oyster mushroom petals should be picked up before they spread too much and cut slightly from the base. This packet should be marketed by making a few holes in the poly propylene packet and closing the mouth of the mushrooms. Each seed or spawn yields about 200 grams of mushroom. So from 200 seeds or spawn it will be possible to get about 40 kg of mushrooms. Currently, the price of mushroom per kg in the market is about Tk 120. to turn around
