Mushroom Capital Project Initiation

Initial capital. The most frequent question asked by many of the Global Mushroom entrepreneurs and enthusiasts will mushroom, and today I want to share information about the cost of capital was needed.

For the first starter. The most delicious if there RM15k. 
  • Make a barn (20 'X 25') with a capacity of 5.000 bags .= RM5, 000 
  • Buy 5.000 bags bags mature mushroom (RM1.10) = RM5, 500 
  • Capital and expenditure .= lain2 RM4, 500 
  • Total Cost Total .= RM15, 000 
  • Total income 3 months (5Kx0.05kgx6xRM7) = RM10, 500
In this case, employers pay back the capital at the barn last year and bought the bag mushroom capital. If he bought another bag of 5.000, then he will be the profit of RM4, 000. That income of RM10, 500 - RM5, 500 (purchase cost of the bag).

Income of RM10, 500 in earn if he sells up to RM7 per kg. If he can sell for RM10 or RM12, such as at night markets or market day, the sales will be higher. RM7 is the minimum price for wholesale. If we survey the night market, we will see prices at the night market there to reach RM13 to RM15 per kilo.

Just imagine if the entrepreneur can sell with those prices. Another one, just for working capital tu emergency plan only if there is no reason to RM4, 500 was no reason why the use tu to pay water bills, buy fuel and plastic wrap je mushrooms. And one more important, do not hire because, if the bag ... so far 5.000 we can take care of mom dad ... was not very difficult. For a small scale.

I suggest that employers may start with 1,000 bags first. No need to build a barn. Just buy canopy only on condition that, under the canopy of trees or bushes so that the canopy of the roast is cool
.
  • Buy a canopy (10 'X 10') = RM300 - RM400
  • Buy 1.000 bags mushrooms = RM1, 100
  • Cash flow = RM1, 000
  • Revenue 3 months (1Kx0.05kgx6xRM7) = RM2, 100
How to count the result = (Number of bags X mushroom harvest products each production X X The number of times the Purchase Price).

This information I obtained from my friend, Mr.. Zul of Mushroom Puchong, Malaysia and if interested to know more, you can register for the course which he recommended such a course of ads displayed.

Button Mushroom

Agaricus bisporus, also known as public Button Mushroom, Mushroom or Mushroom Farm Table is one of the Basidiomycota fungi are edible and grows naturally in meadows and fields. Although this species is found only around Europe and North America, but populations of this species increased dramatically and is one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms in the commercial world.
 
Agaricus bisporus, which grew wild in nature has a gingery pileus and dark brown gills. However, a more convenient variation of the genus Agaricus white pileus, stem, and the contents of each white and brown gills.
 
A large number of retail outlets in Western countries is sold in the form of canned mushrooms and a fresh supply. Gill fungus is often removed during preparation. Button mushrooms that have been cooked can usually be found, especially for pizza and casseroles, eaten raw with a salad and so on. A mycology expert named Paul Stamets worried because the possibility of this fungus contain small quantities of hazardous chemicals agaritin kaseinogen commonly found in fungi but not identified how many levels of the chemical to cause poisoning to consumers and become a hot issue at this time.

Taxonomy and Nomenclature
Agaricus bisporus is known as the champignon de Paris in France. It is also called "champignon" (the French word for "fungus") in many countries.

Ordinary button mushrooms are grown is a member of the genus Agaricus where most members are edible, with flavors and quoted extensively throughout the world. The most known and popular is collected in the wild A. campestris, known as Meadow on North American mushroom or field mushroom in the UK and Australia. This species is found in the United States and Europe.

Agaricus bisporus Agaricus brunnescens derived from the name by Charles Horton Peck in 1900 prior to the change and disinonimkan A. bisporus. The name is derived from the alleged bisporus bi meaning two and sporus means of spores. Most of the Basidiomycota had four spores per basidia but this species has only two spores per bosidia.

Common species
These mushrooms are usually easy to be confused with a poisonous fungus, Amanita Virosa also known as the destroying angel people. Although looks similar in shape physically, but both species have a slight difference in shape at the site known as volva pileus and gill color. Amanita Virosa have gills that are white while most of Agaricus bisporus brown or pink. That's why we need to wash mushrooms, especially in the so volva fragments (debris) removed to determine the pattern, in addition to cutting specimens to identify the color of the young gills.

In addition, the "destroying angel" grow on wood, moss and live in symbiosis with fir trees.

Another somewhat similar fungus and Agaricus xanthodermus popular yellow. The fungus is usually found around the world in areas where grass can be identified by the smell of toxic chemicals, phenol and its contents will turn yellow when flaccid. This fungus affects the gastrointestinal, such as nausea and vomiting in some people.

Nutrition Nutrition
Button mushrooms are rich in vitamins and minerals. This particular mushroom contains vitamin B and potassium content is high. Raw mushrooms are free of cholesterol, fat and sodium. Mushrooms also have a very low total energy of five medium-sized button mushrooms together only 20 calories.

In addition, this fungus also has a unique flavor compared to other fungi. No special flavor is described; Mushroom described as a "timber" for having a somewhat bitter taste, but button mushrooms taste a little sweeter or a little "beefy".

Just as apples and potatoes, mushroom oxidizes quickly when exposed to air. When sliced and exposed to air for 10 minutes or more, these mushrooms become soft, change the color to a brownish-and lost its original flavor.

MUSHROOM DISEASE

Control Needs To Be Done Immediately Before The Beginning Of Uncontrolled

The reason / problem is:
  1. It may be an infection of the seed when the seed injection made
  2. The injected seed stored for too long / old
  3. Dust the wood used for far too long
  4. Due to insufficient steam
This is an early indication to test my patience to continue to promote the cultivation of this mushroom project. I will improve in terms of cleanliness and control of insect pests.
  
Movement Maisillium

It appears that the movement is not very thick maisillium as I look at other penggusaha-penggusaha have a blog. Why can this be ye ..? There are relatively slow and uneven. Pictures were taken after the block was 20 days.
Wait and see how first ..

The solid density

Block density can affect the movement of maisillium. In the past, first do it, I block a little less dense and soft. There is also a much water. Second batch of this, I was more cautious. Bagging process that, I am ready to weigh. Estimated weight for a block is 800-850gram.

As the picture above, there are a lot of water because the neck is not pulled into the water and causes loosely gathered steam in the division. In addition the block is no solid enough.

This time, the block is tu not be weak seemed more energetic as before. Bagging process this time, I weigh to get the ideal weight of the block. But a bit slow to play this timbang2. For the expert already, no need want to weigh, you will be quite heavy block tu how gram. Right?

How to Maintain Mushroom House Environment

Home environment that is conducive to the growth of mold fungi is very important. Care home is the perfect mushroom and appropriate provision of much needed space. In addition, the temperature and humidity are also critical factors that must be maintained to ensure that the fungus can produce a good production.

a) Environment

Rooms mushrooms need a clean, orderly and free of bacteria, animal and insect pests. Thus, the mushroom house should be treated with care and proper.

Among the controls carried out to maintain cleanliness in the mushroom house are:

Putting chalk on the shelf

Lime should be sown on the shelves are empty before putting a new bag of mushrooms. This action is intended to kill the bacteria found in the vicinity of shelves and the mushroom house. In addition, the area around the bag rack infected mushrooms will also be placed chalk bag to avoid infection of other fungi.
Placing citronella in a mushroom house

Citronella be placed in a mold used to drive home and kill small insects and other pests found in the vicinity of mushroom houses.

Citronella will be mixed with water and placed in a bottle that had been drilled a little hole. Through this hole, the smell of citronella will be spread around the house whole mushrooms. Bottles will be suspended at the front of each pole shelf mushroom bags.

Mushroom bags are damaged and expired useful life

Bag of mushrooms that span expired, damaged, infected, and problematic to be separated and taken out of the bag for the new media can be brought into the mushroom house to replace the old media bag. It also can prevent bacterial infection from a bag that had been infected.

Provision of suitable space

Space in the mushroom house should be sufficient for management and control of all activities that occur in the mushroom homes of new media such as storage bags, harvesting the mushrooms, water treatment and management of media bags that span has expired.

Mushroom Shelves

Mushroom shelves built and height must have a suitable area for storing luggage mushrooms. In addition, the racks should be placed at the right distance and convenient to control the activities of the new media storage bag, to pick mushrooms cooked and spray water.

For small-scale planting, the distance between the shelves, built at least accommodate an employee to bring a basket and allow plant maintenance activities, can be done easily in a mushroom house.

For large-scale planting, the distance between the rack should allow the harvest work done using a wheelbarrow by the workers who handle the work.

b) The temperature and humidity in the mushroom house

Temperature and humidity are important aspects to be considered in controlling the mushroom house as it is affecting the growth of mold and the mold that would be obtained.

Natural environment such as temperature during the day either on a hot day and the rain is affecting the temperature and moisture in the mushroom house directly.

In addition, the selection of design and materials used to make mushroom houses are also a factor affecting the temperature and humidity in the mushroom house. important because it will affect the growth of fungi and the media itself is resistant bag.

Buildings constructed using concrete

Factors to be affected by humidity and temperature of the heat trapped inside the mushroom house.

In theory, the hot air has a lower density will rise to the top and the cold air into the air in a high density would decrease. This process is called convection process. In addition, the bag of the media will produce heat by splitting spores and reduce the moisture in the mushroom house.

Temperature and humidity are conducive to mold growth

Temperature suitable for mushroom house is at room temperature, between 25-27'c.

Meanwhile, appropriate humidity is between 80-83 percent humidity.

Measuring devices should be placed in temperature and humidity in the mushroom house to find out the actual temperature and relative humidity. It should be placed at an angle of the central mushroom house.

Method of temperature and humidity control

Method of temperature control is done by several ways such as:
  1. Water Pipes Shot
  2. Artificial Rainwater
  3. Fan Air
Spray water pipe

Thus, the first rule of water spray is used to solve this problem. Shot will be done by watering at the end of the media bag and mushroom house floor. This method will reduce the amount of hot air that rise to the top.

Water spray hose will do as much as 5 times in a day, at about 11.00am, 3.00 pm, 5.30pm and 7.00am 12.00PM and on a hot day with the normal temperature 28 º -32 º to maintain the temperature at 25 º -30 º.
 
On rainy days during the day, a lecture on mushrooms and flowers bag will be reduced, only the floor will be given more water.
  • Techniques of water spraying the right:  
  • Standing in the middle path between the rack holding the hose mushrooms. 
  • Spraying the floor to really wet and damp. 
  • Alternate spray-hose spray into the bag of mushrooms to moisten a little bag of mushrooms. 
  • Avoid spraying too much water in the mold to prevent interest rates from the fresh mushrooms, grow faster and chap. 
  • On hot days, mushroom house should be watered more and on a rainy day, the water is sprayed into the bag of mushrooms should be reduced.
 Fan

The fan is used to bring in cool air from the hot air out and cool in the mushroom house. The process of convection occurs due to turbulent air from the fan. Some of the cool air will come down, while the hot air will escape through the hole in the roof.

Artificial Rainwater

Artificial rain will be installed during hot weather because of the radiation emitted by the sun will warm the air inside the mushroom house. The water will reduce the radiation to penetrate the roof. The hot air entering the fan will be issued.

The water will reduce the radiation to penetrate the roof. It will cool the roof and reduce the heat in the mushroom house.

In conclusion, the first rule of hose is the main method used to control the temperature and moisture in the mushroom house. Water will be sprayed according to the temperature and humidity in the mushroom house that is constantly changing according to changes in its environment.

The second and third method used if the wall is made with mushroom house bricks and the roof is zinc. He always made a total of 5 times a day or as needed even though the temperature is less than 27oC.

When the outside temperature is above 29oC and above, the second and third methods will be used to retain moisture mushroom house.
