Oyster-mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) grows on a wide range of agricultural wastes in temperature ranging from 15 to 35°C with 100% biological efficiency; hence it is called as the ‘Future Mushroom of India’. This mushroom has many advantages—simple cultivation practices, superior neutraceutical properties (57-65% carbohydrates, 20-30% proteins and 2-2.7% fat), and comparatively 1.5-2 times lesser cost of cultivation than commercially produced button mushroom. It has only marketing problems, owing to its high perishability, shorter shelf- life (1-2 days) and seasonal production that results in glut, and thus distress sale. Not Available |
