Mushroom making - home based job

Now a day, mushroom farming business gives good profit within few weeks for the people who are interested to do business in home. You can easily earn money by planting mushrooms by following below steps.

1. Spawn and substrate

Either you can produce your own spawn using a sterile culture or you can buy ready-to-inoculate spawn, which are carried by suppliers. Also you need to buy the substrate. Many growers use straw or wood chips. Straw is generally the preferred method. You want straw that can be chopped up into little pieces.

2. Prepare substrate

First, chop the straw into short pieces. Next, wet the straw. Now it’s time to heat the straw in boiling water. Continue boiling for half an hour and then remove the straw and drain it. Next, spread out the straw on a clean surface and let it cool down.

3. Pack into plastic bags

Now it’s time to pack plastic bags with the straw and spawn. Pack two or three inches of straw into the plastic bag and then lightly sprinkle the spawn on top. Repeat this until you’ve almost filled the bag, close the top and poke holes in the bag.

4. Incubation

Now it’s time for incubation. Keep the growing area at around 78 degrees F. Places the bags on a shelving unit. Remember to stop any threats of natural light getting into the room. Cover windows and cracks. Use a red “darkroom” light when you need to check on your bags. When you start to notice tiny pinhead mushrooms near the air holes in your bag, then you’re ready to move on to the next step.

5. Fruiting

For your fruiting room, you need a high level of humidity. The temperature will need to be 65 to 70 degrees F. Unlike the incubation room, you’ll actually need a lot of natural light—at least 12 hours a day. To shock your mycelium, which will force it into fruiting, move the bags to a cool place for a day, such as a basement or other cool place, and then move them back to the fruiting room. Next, cut away the bag, which allows mushroom growth to take place.

6. Harvesting

Just before your mushroom caps are fully uncurled, that’s when it’s time to harvest. To do so, twist the stem off as near to the growing block as you are able to. You’ve now harvested your mushrooms.

7. Picking

• Pick each mushroom with an upward twisting motion.
• Break them off at the casing surface.
• Do not pull with pieces of casing being lifted still attached to the mushroom.
• Following picking, there should be as few holes or stumps of mushrooms left in the bed, as is possible.
• Brushing mushrooms after picking, to remove compost and casing material.
• These can cause bad discoloration of the cap.
• Mushrooms left too long before picking can over mature...as little as 12 hours can make a significant difference. 

Tips: 

There are 3 types of mushrooms that are easiest to grow at home are oyster, white button, and Shiitake. The method for growing each mushroom is similar, but the ideal growing medium differs.

Oyster mushrooms grow best in straw; Shiitakes grow best on hardwood sawdust; button mushrooms grow best in composted manure. These different growing media reflect the different nutritional needs of each species. However, each of these 3 species can be grown readily enough in sawdust or straw. Choosing a type of mushroom to grow is a matter of taste. You should grow the type you most want to eat.
