E-book Mushroom Farming : Step by Step Guide
Mushroom grows on Substrate – just think of it as substitute for soil. Substrate is simply organic waste from the farms. This includes; wheat straw, rice straw, saw dust, cotton seed hulls, sugarcane burgesses, bean straw and Maize straw. You will need to learn how to prepare substrates as i shall be showing you in this ebook. Alternatively, you can purchase it ready made. Jomo Kenyatta University at Juja sells ready-made sterilized substrate at about Ksh.80. You can explore the option of contacting them so that they can be sending them to you through courier delivery services on established public transport services to where you live. Moi University at Chepkoilel sell hybrid mushroom spawn. You can add value by making mushroom-based porridge flour that is slowly gaining acceptance in the market. Some people who don’t take fresh mushrooms prefer to take it in processed forms. In Kenya, farmers mostly grow the Shitake mushrooms which have medicinal properties and Oyster mushrooms that are rich in nutrients. When they are ground and mixed with amaranth and sorghum they make delicious porridge mix.
