Cultivation of Oyster Mushroom in Arunachal Pradesh
Oyster mushroom cultivation is gaining popularity in Arunachal Pradesh, a state rich in natural resources and an ideal climate for mushroom farming. With abundant forest cover, high humidity, and moderate temperatures, the region provides favorable conditions for growing oyster mushrooms.
Climate & Suitability
Arunachal Pradesh has a temperate to subtropical climate, which supports the growth of various oyster mushroom species, such as Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus florida, and Pleurotus sajor-caju. The natural humidity and moderate temperatures (ranging between 20°C to 30°C) make it ideal for mushroom cultivation throughout the year, especially during the monsoon and winter seasons.
