Implementing Organization

Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR)

Project Overview

The Elm oyster mushroom is an excellent edible mushroom which can be easily grown either for commercial purpose or for home consumption. It is an excellent source of high quality protein and vitamins (especially Vitamin B). The average biological efficiency can be 60-90%. The yield, sporophore size, texture and flavor of this mushroom is far superior as compared to the commercial oyster mushrooms like Pleurotus florida or P. sajor-caju presently being grown in India. Its spore content is very low hence does not cause respiratory allergy problem as the presently grown oyster species. It is highly recommended for stomach and intestinal diseases
