Preparing for mushroom growing

Mushroom farming is a simple activity which require the following:

• Securing the spawn and substrate

If you want to grow mushrooms, you need a spawn to start the culture. Spawn: like seed to crop, quality of spawn is one of the most important factors. You can produce your own spawn using a sterile culture, or you can buy ready-to-inoculate spawn, which are carried by suppliers. Producing your own can be cheaper in the long run, but the start-up costs can be high, so chances are buying the ready-to-inoculate spawn is the way to go for you.

• Building a mushroom shed

An ideal mushroom growing house does not necessarily need to be a high-tech, high-cost structure with all automatic control.
