Calocybe indica- Milky Mushrooms


  • Calocybe indica, commonly known as the milky white mushroom, is a species of edible mushroom native to India. 


  • The sturdy all-white mushrooms appear in summer after rainfall in fields and on road verges. 


  • Traditionally eaten in West Bengal, it is being grown commercially in several Indian states and other tropical countries.


  • The robust mushroom is all-white in colour and has a firm consistency. Its cap is 10 to 14 centimetres (4 to 5 1⁄2 in) across, convex initially before flattening out with age. 





  • The cuticle (skin) can be easily peeled off the cap. 


  • The crowded gills are white, and the cylindrical stem is 10 centimetres (4 in) high with no ring nor volva. 


  • It has a subbulbous base, being 1.8 centimetres (3⁄4 in) wide at the apex (top), 3.5 centimetres (1 1⁄2 in) in the middle and 2.4 centimetres (1 in) wide at the base. 


  • The mushroom does not change colour on cutting or bruising, though old dried specimens have a buff colour. 


  • The flesh has a mild flavour that has been described as oily, and a faint smell reminiscent of radishes. The spore print is white, and the oval spores measure 5.9–6.8 μm long by 4.2–5.1 μm wide.


  • C. indica is cultivated commercially in southern India and becoming more popular in China, Malaysia, and Singapore; it can be grown in hot humid countries with a temperature range of 25 to 35 °C year-round.

What is the major problems in mushroom cultivation?

Problems and solutions in the cultivation of the mushroom including: a) Mycelium fails to form Improper initiation strategy.  Solutions : consult parameter of growth. Alter moisture, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, etc.  Note : If the substrate is too moist, decrease moisture b) Chlorinated or contaminated water.  Solutions :  Use activated charcoal water filters to eliminate chemical contaminants or any other ways of simple or appropriate technology. c) Bad substrate.  Solutions : Check substrate. Spread the substrate and remix the substrate, package again, make sure all raw materials are good and fresh.   Note : It is necessary to pasteurize immediately after bagging otherwise fermentation gas will slow down the rate of growth of mycelium or stop mycelium growth. d) Bad pasteurization.  Solutions : Check method of pasteurization. Release all air and make sure there is continuous steam before starting pasteurization for a period of 3h. e) The substrate in the bag is too hot when i

Oyster mushroom vs button mushroom nutrition | Nutritional comparison between oyster and button mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms are beloved the world over for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor.  Oyster mushrooms are more expensive than white button mushrooms but less so than rarer mushrooms like morels, and take little prep since they can be used whole or chopped.                                Oyster: “These are low in calories and rich in fiber, protein, selenium [which may help prevent cancer], niacin [aka, vitamin B3] and riboflavin [aka, vitamin B2].Oyster mushrooms also contain an active compound called benzaldehyde, which has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, research shows oyster mushrooms may significantly reduce blood glucose levels. They have also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.”    White Button: White button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed. “They’re a good source of potassium, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus [which supports bone and teeth health] and iron.
