‘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.
