Milky Mushroom Training

Milky Mushroom thrives in India's warm climate, unlike many other cultivated varieties. Learn its complete cultivation process through practical, hands-on training.

What is Milky Mushroom?

Milky Mushroom (Calocybe indica) is a mushroom variety recognised by its large, firm, milky-white caps and thick stems. Unlike oyster mushroom varieties that prefer cooler conditions, it is naturally suited to higher temperatures, making it well adapted to warm and tropical regions across India. It is commonly grown on treated paddy or wheat straw.
