There are several crops that can help farmers double their income.  Mushroom is at the top of these Horticulture Crops, whose consumption is increasing from village to city. The Bihar government is encouraging the farmers of the state to leave the cultivation of traditional crops and join mushroom cultivation. Bihar government has increased subsidy on mushroom production.

‘All in one’ formula for mushroom cultivation 

There is also a problem for the mushroom farmers that farmers have to collect mushroom compost, mushroom seeds and other items from different places, which consumes Mose of the time, labour and resources. In such a situation, if farmers themselves set up ‘All in One’ Mushroom Production Unit, then it will help in reducing the cost of cultivation and earn better profits.
