Possibility of culturing Mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ) in the house garden

Abstract

Growing mushrooms outdoors as a part of a market garden involves little effort after inoculated the loges or other substrate with mushroom spawn . its necessary to maintain humidity and monitor for fruiting. The present result describs the cultivation of the edible mushroom Agaricus bisporus when we used the straw from dead date-palm trees mixing with spawn containing mycelium in side the black plastic bags ,the production of fruiting bodies were achieved after 42 days,where the production of fruiting bodies were achieved after 47 days after inoculating the spawns through drilling holes in dead trunks. The present work describs the cultivation of the edible mushroom through March and April in the house so that the mushroom Agaricus bisporus are good choice for iniating mushroom cultivators because it is easier to grow than many of other species and they can be grown on small scale with a moderate initial investment and grow on a wide variety of high cellulose waste materials some of these materials do not require sterilization and pasteurization ,which are less expensive.
