Difficulty Level of Cultivating Mushroom

The difficulty level of cultivating edible mushroom as follows:
  • Oyster mushroom is the lowest level on grading of difficulty to cultivate mushroom.
  • Button mushroom is on the second lowest level of this grading
  • Shitake mushrrom is the next difficulty of cultivating muchroom
  • Different place of mushroom, mean mushroom from different climate is difficult to cultivate in your place this is often be failed.
Some warm mushrooms, e.g. Volvariella volvacea (Straw mushrooms) and Pleurotus sajor-caju (Oyster mushrooms) are relatively fast growing organisms and can be harvested in 3 to 4 weeks after spawning. It is a short return agricultural business and can be of immediate benefit to the community.

Mushroom farming is both a science and an art. The science is developed through research the art is perfected through curiosity and practical experience. However, mushroom farming is a business which requires precision. Indeed, it is not as simple as what some people often loosely stipulate. It calls for adherence to precise procedures. If you ignore one critical step, you are inviting trouble, which could lead to a substantially reduced mushroom crop yield. For example, if you fail to adjust the pH of the substrate to a critical level required by the specific mushroom species your are cultivating, or if you do not properly pasteurize the substrate (to free the mushroom spawn of other moulds and various bacteria), your planted mushroom could be outcompeted by unwanted, intrusive micro-organisms.
