Mushroom Cultivation Facility

Department of Botany of developed a Skill Development Center "Mushroom Cultivation Training Center" in association with National Skill Development Council. The objective of this facility is to impart basic training to Young Entrepreneurs or Horticulture Enthusiasts to create a self employment opportunity for themselves and others. We had a humble start with a small thatched hut in Botanical Garden. To mark the beginning we were able to successfully cultivate two exotic varieties of edible mushrooms. We have harvested Oyester Mushrooms (Pleurotus) and Milky White Mushrooms (Calocybe) 🍄 at the end of its growing cycle.
