Preparation of bags:

- Keep the beds moist by periodical spraying with water.
- Tie one end of the bag, put two holes of 1 cm dia in the middle.
- Put a handful of cooked straw in the bag to a height of 5 cm; sprinkle about 25 g of spawn.
- Layer the straw to 25 cm height. Repeat the process to get four layers of spawn and 5 layers of straw.
- Tie the mouth and arrange beds in tiers in the spawn running room.
- After 15-20 days, cut and remove the polythene bag and transfer the beds to the cropping room.
Harvest
- Mushroom pinheads appear on the 3rd day of the opening of beds and mature in 3 days.
- Harvest matured mushrooms daily or alternate days, before spraying water.
