1 ENSURING NUTRITION AND HEALTH SECURITY THROUGH MUSHROOM CULTIVATION Kailash Behari Mohapatra Department of Plant Pathology OUAT, Bhubaneswar

2 THE AMAZING MUSHROOM Without leaves, without buds, without flowers, yet, they form fruit; as a food, as a tonic, as a medicine, the entire creation is precious (Chang, 2007)

3 LOOKING BACK Mushrooms found in fossilized wood estimated to be 300 million years old. It appears, prehistoric man has used mushrooms in the wild as food. Further, it was evidenced in the Bible; the desert truffle, Terfezia arnenaria was described as Bread from heaven and Manna of the Israelites (Pegler, 2002).

4 MUSHROOMS : Beauty, Diversity and Relevance Mushrooms, indeed, are beautiful, beauty derives not merely from elegance and variety of form and colour but structure and architecture superbly linked to function and life style. Species range from being delicious to edible to hallucinogenic to poisonous, even of potential value and use in medicine. Enumeration, taxonomy, distribution, biology, chemistry, cultivation and conservation, naturally are of great relevance and will remain of perennial interest and fascination for us.

5 MUSHROOM PRODUCTION: An agribusiness activity Eco-friendly activity Economic activity Health food Production per unit area/ time more Round the year farming Mushroom farming vs. natural calamities Compatibility with IFS / eco-farms

6 MUSHROOM: a super food (Lelley,2006) Low energy level: weight reduction Low purine: gout and rheumatism relief Low glucose: beneficial for diabetics Very low sodium: relief from high blood pressure High content of vitamins: address vitamin requirements High content of K and P: important for growth High content of selenium: excellent antioxidant

15 MUSHROOM IN ODISHA Research on edible mushroom started in the Department of Plant Pathology, OUAT in Research efforts strengthened with the establishment of CTMRT in Studies undertaken on production of Volvariella, Calocybe and Pleurotus species. AICRP on Mushroom initiated by ICAR in to further the cause of mushroom development in the state.

16 MUSHROOM-FRIENDLY CLIMATE Odisha, a state in the Eastern coast of the country, enjoys a hot and humid climate that favours cultivation of tropical and subtropical mushrooms almost year round.

19 MAJOR MUSHROOM GROWING DISTRICTS OF ODISHA Major mushroom growing districts

20 STRAW MUSHROOM Excellent flavour Short cropping cycle Outdoor cultivation possible Biological efficiency : 15 % Shelf life : 12 hours

21 RESEARCHES MADE SO FAR Twenty isolates have been collected from six agro-climatic zones of Odisha. Ten have been characterized in the Agriculture Biotechnology Department. Evaluation on yield and yield attributing parameters have been done. Two of the promising lines (OSM-11 and OSM- 12) promoted to AVT-1 in the National trials. The entries have also been introduced in OFTs of KVKs

22 ENTRIES BEING TESTED IN NATIONAL TRIALS OSM-11 OSM-12

23 Volvariella bombycina A HIGH YIELDING LOW TEMPERATURE TOLERANT STRAW MUSHROOM VARIETY

24 PRODUCTION SYSTEMS Straw mushroom grown as an intercrop in coconut plantations in the coastal areas Semi-controlled cultivation practiced in low cost thatched sheds, asbestos sheds, agro-net houses and poly houses in inland districts Indoor cultivation of straw mushroom using partially composted substrate is being popularized for higher productivity Over 60 % production contributed by outdoor farming

25 RENEWED ADVISORY FOR THE GROWERS Straw soaking in 1-2% lime water Straw soaking period reduced from 12 to 6 hours Use of crumpled straw Off season cultivation is possible Bed dimension season dependant Vertical expansion possible

26 INDOOR CULTIVATION OF STRAW MUSHROOM Straw supplemented with/ without cotton waste at 1:1 ratio Mixed with wheat bran and calcium carbonate Partially composted for a period of 6 days Pasteurized in situ and spawned Productivity could be as high as 45%

27 INDOOR CULTIVATION OF STRAW MUSHROOM

28 COMPETITOR MOLDS AND DISEASES Coprinus comatus has been detected as the principal competitor mold, able to reduce yields substantially (100%). Among diseases, bacterial button rot has been predominant over years.

29 HARVEST AND POST HARVEST OPERATIONS To be harvested at the bud stage Poly propylene / punnet packing are being demonstrated Further, storage in cool chambers at C has been highly successful Short term storage in brine has not been popular among farmers

51 MILKY MUSHROOM Attractive white mushroom with excellent keeping quality Wide choice of agricultural wastes Biological efficiency: % Shelf life : 3-4 days

52 ISOLATES UNDER STUDY

53 RENEWED ADVISORY FOR THE GROWERS Steam pasteurization of substrate Mustard cake (5%) as organic additive Use of FYM + loam soil (1:1)/ vermin bag as casing material Use of 3 weeks old spawn

54 HARVEST AND POST HARVEST OPERATIONS Harvested at 7-8cm pileus size Can be stored at ambient for 3-4 days Fruit bodies packaged in PP bags/ punnets

55 PEOPLES ACCEPTANCE So far has not attained commercial status in the state However, efforts are on to popularize it across the state soon

56 MILKY MUSHROOM IN POLY-HOUSE

57 MUSHROOM SPAWN Mushroom Research Centre, OUAT, Bhubaneswar provides master spawn to the spawn producers and the KVKs Multiplied to commercial/ planting spawn at their level and supplied to growers for mushroom production Often, the spawn production units are monitored for quality maintenance

58 SPAWN PRODUCTION SCENARIO OF ODISHA Puri Khurda Ganjam 24% 18% Dhenkanal Bargarh 4% 5% 5% 4% 5% 7% 11% 17% Balasore Nayagarh Bhadrak Jagatsingpur Others

59 RENEWED ADVISORY FOR THE SPAWN PRODUCERS PP bags / bottles to be used against glass bottles Replacement of mother cultures at regular intervals Maintenance of sanitary measures

60 MUSHROOM VALUE ADDITION: STATUS People are in habit of consuming fresh mushrooms However, mushroom pickle, sauce and soup powder are gaining popularity In Odisha, two processing units have started commercial production with FPO license More and more processing are likely to come up soon in the state

61 MUSHROOM VALUE ADDITION : DEFICIENCY Training on value addition Commercial units expensive Acquiring license from Govt. of India Meager domestic demand

62 BUTTON MUSHROOM IN ODISHA Odisha has already entered in the club of button mushroom producing states At present, two farms are producing 126 t/annum button mushroom Further, two commercial button mushroom farms are under construction Hopefully, Odisha will become self sufficient in button mushroom production soon

64 ECONOMICS OF MUSHROOM CULTIVATION A single bag of oyster mushroom (80 cm x 40 cm) costs : Rs.40 Average yield/bag : 1.5 kg Sale price : Rs.60/kg Gross income/bag : Rs.90 Net income/bag : Rs.50 (In 4 sq.ft. area in 45 days period) A single bed of straw mushroom (1.5 x1.5 x1.5 ) costs : Rs.60 Average yield/bed : 1.0 kg Sale price : Rs.120/kg Gross income/bed : Rs.120 Net income/bed : Rs.60 (In 10 sq.ft. area in 21 days period)

65 OUR VISION Production of paddy straw mushroom through indoor cultivation Popularization of milky mushroom Self sufficiency in button mushroom production Introduction of few promising species/ varieties Streamlining mushroom marketing Replacement of glass bottles with PP packets/ bottles for spawn production Awareness on mushroom value addition

66 INITIATIVES Linkage with KVKs, line Departments, ICAR institutes and NGOs Participation in collaborative programmes E-addressal of problems Organization of entrepreneurs meet Monitoring of mushroom farms Mushroom as a component of IFS and urban nutritional gardens Mushroom Research Centre, pro-active for farmers across the nation
