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
