Production of adequate amount of edible mushrooms is obligatory to improve the nutritional status of India population. Presently the production of button mushroom, the most preferred mushroom in Indian diet, is concentrated in temperate region only. However, some amount of button mushroom is also produced in hot and arid region of north-western India comprising of parts of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. However, cultivation season of button mushrooms is considerably lower in the region due to adverse climatic conditions. Hence, a study was conducted at ICAR-CIPHET, Abohar under AICRP on PET to develop a specially designed
mushroom polyhouse suitable for production of mushrooms in hot and arid region. Study indicated that CIPHET mushroom polyhouse was able to increase the cultivation season of button mushroom by about 2 months during which 2-3 crops can be produced. Study also revealed that oyster mushroom can be produced in the region during April to June or early-July using CIPHET polyhouse.
