B. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
1. Rationale
Mushrooms are called ‘white vegetables’ or ‘boneless vegetarian meat’
containing 20-35% protein (dry weight) which is higher than those of vegetables and
fruits and is of superior quality. It is considered ideal for patients of hypertension and
diabetics. Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.) can be grown on variety of crop refuses,
saw dust, bagasse (a waste product from sugar mill), sludge (a waste from paper pulp
mill) etc. Processing of agro-waste in to valuable protein rich food reduces the
environmental pollution and its byproduct as spent mushroom is also a good source for
making compost, manure, soil conditioner and can be used as feed for animal and fish.
Paddy straw and banana leaves are also available in the vicinity of the Campus which
can be effectively utilized as substrate (growing medium) for mushroom cultivation
Oyster mushroom cultivation as cottage industry has potentials as a high-value
crop in the province of Antique. For round the year cultivation the agro-climatic
conditions are very conducive with modest temperature (25-30°C) and relative
humidity (70-90 %).
There is huge demand of canned, dried and fresh mushrooms and can get
handsome price from sale of fresh and dried oyster mushroom. There is great demand
of fresh mushroom in local market for consumption of tourist in hotels. Apart from fresh
consumption of mushrooms it can be exported as organic brand in dried form.

1. Establish facility for mushroom production
2. Generate additional income for the university
