How To Grow Mushroom in a Sawdust Bag






First, you must buy the sawdust bag from the mushroom supplier.

Here are the procedure:

1. Open the cover.
2. Keep at cooling and humid places like bathroom or under shade.
Must not expose to direct sunlight or rain. It can also be kept in the kitchen or darker corner of the house.
3. Open the cover and spray the opening with water twice a day daily.
4. Mushroom should grow within a week. With high humidity, it should grow within 5 days
5. Mushroom should be harvested within 3 day after fruiting (best size sare about 5-8 cm)
6. After harvesting, remove the roots of mushroom which are still attached to the top surface of the sawdust bag. Use any sharp end object to scrapthe surface. Sterilize the object (screw driver of handle of small spoon)before using to prevent contamination.
7. Spray some water on the top surface of the sawdust (at the opening) before covering it again with resting cap. (use the same cover that youhave since I didn't give you the resting cap.)
8. Let the mushroom bag rest for 10 days before opening the cover again. During the resting period, it is not necessary to spray water until thecover is opened again after 10 days. Spray water twice a day until the next harvesting. Repeat the procedures.. A mushroom bag should be able toharvest for about six times.

For those bags which haven't grow, spray some water at the opening and cover it for another ten days before opening it again. Sometimes it takes longer period to grow if it is kept indoor. As long as it is not contaminated. It should grow anyway. (If it is kept ouside the house at a darket corner and not expose to direct sunlight and rain, it shoild grow faster)

How Do I Start My First Step


Greeting! Konichiwa!

Hi, my name is Adrian. This is my first blogging experience and I am excited.

My idea on creating my own blogsites started after I read books on Blogger where I can share experience and knowlegde on anything that interest me.

I've a small project to help my father and brother at my village (Kampung). I've hired my village people with a small salary of about RM 15 - RM 20 per day part time. My first project is planting oil palms at a small parcel of land about 10 ha not far from my village at Serian, Sarawak, Malaysia. I will integrate it with sheep once it reach 3 years in order to save cost of fertilizer and weedicide.
I am doing this over the weekend and on part time basis just to relieve stress from heavy workload in the office. Believe me, much of my stress at work reduce once I started to sweat after walking up and down the hill.


I get some help from friends in the plantation sector and from reading books on planting oil palm. I hope it will bear fruit and some get return in three years time. At the moment this project cost me more than RM 45,000.00 for an area of about 6 hectars but it's okay because I hate to see empty land with no value at all (In the case of NCR in Sarawak)


We need to change in order to be successful in this world. For me, I want to change according to the world demand. Growing in wealth, health, family, love and happiness. Grow green for the mother earth.


Thank you for viewing my blog and hope to hear from you. Sayonara!
