The Oyster mushroom, or Pleurotus ostreatus, is a common mushroom prized for its edibility and lack of confusing look-alikes. It is related to the "king oyster mushroom".Both the latin and common name refer to the shape of the fruiting body. The latin pleurotus (sideways) refers to the sideways-growth of the stem with respect to the cap while the latin ostreatus (and the English common name, oyster) refers to the shape of the cap which
resembles the bi-valve of the same name. The oyster is one of the more commonly sought wild mushrooms, though it can also be cultivated on straw and other media.The cap is smooth; oblong and often convex with age; 50-200 mm in diameter; and ranges from white to brown to blue-gray. The margin can be smooth with a slight wave.

The flesh of the most common variety is white and can be thin or thick. A range of different colors can be found in the wild and can be cultivated. Yellow, pink, blue, and gray.Gills are decurrent (descend down the stem) and attached and white to light yellow.

The stem is short, often horizontal and emerging from wood.The spores form a white to lilac-gray print on dark media.The mycelia is white and grows rapidly.The Oyster Mushroom is wide-spread in temperate forests throughout the world. It grows on dead wood year round and all strains need moist conditions to fruit although different strains fruit in different temperature ranges.Oyster mushrooms are a source of statin drugs. The oyster mushroom is also one of the few known carnivorous mushrooms. Its mycelia can kill and digest nematodes.

This is believed to be a way to obtain nitrogen.We' e many feathers to our cap. But this does not the end of our mission. We want to scale new heights and create new history by producing quality products and serving the nation by producing healthy and organic food products.

IndiaMART Member SinceJune 2013

WELCOME to Vikas Mushroom Farms , established by Mr Vikas Benal (M.Com), Managing Director, who today is an authority in the field of mushroom cultivation.
Vikas Mushroom Farm was set up in the year 1990 with a small capital of Rs 6500 (about 141 dollars) with 200 bags of compost from the department of Horticulture, Government of Himachal Pradesh.
The first ever mushroom crop was grown in a mud house notwithstanding a gross profit of Rs 20,000 was pocketed.
Unfortunately the compust supply from the Horticulture department was erratic , short and which hampered mushroom cultivation at large scale.This prompted Vikas Benal to set up his own compost production unit.A compost preparation unit of 10 MT capacity was set up in the year 1991.Besides a chamber with a capacity of 1000 mushroom bags was also constructed with his savings and borrowings from the family.
