Welcome to the Monmouth Mushroom (Mycology) Project.

Funded by a grant ($300) form the Monmouth College, Global Food Security Studies (GFSS) Program. The grant was written and submitted by Sujith Santhosh in the Spring 2016 with advising from Bradley E. Sturgeon (Chemistry Department).

Mushroom Growing Procedure

A mushroom is called a "fruiting body" and can be produced in two ways: 1) through the propagation of the "spores", or 2) through the propagation of tissue extract.


there are three distinct steps in this process: 1) Preparing a "spawn" bed.

2) Inoculating the spawn bed.

3) Fruiting
