MushroomFarming.inA joint educational initiative by
ICAR–DMRSolanSix schools, thirteen courses and eighty-six lessons. Every lesson has objectives, sourced numbers, a diagram or photo, a task for your farm and three self-check questions. Progress stays on your phone.

Start with Foundations, then choose the school for your crop. Every course stands on its own.
How mushrooms grow, which species fits you, and the whole cycle from spawn to sale.
Compost, spawn run, casing, pinning, flushes and commercial room operation.
Raw materials, Phase I heaps, Phase II tunnels, ammonia, sampling and records.
Straw bags, warm-season crops and the long shiitake cycle, species by species.
Read symptoms before naming a disease; run temperature, humidity, CO₂ and air as one system.
Cost per kg, cash flow, project planning, MIDH subsidy and bank readiness.
Courses, lessons, self-checks and your progress, from first principles onward.
Knowledge LibraryWhen the question is “What is casing?”, open the guide directly. Every page carries its sources.
Field evidence in learningThe six-photo set that lets any adviser read your crop problem, not guess it.
AI-generated educational illustrations. Not actual farm photographs, diagnostic evidence or construction specifications.
The group is examining a specific crop and production stage. A useful demonstration identifies the species, input and stage before explaining a technique.
Write down what the demonstration uses and which tasks remain on your own farm. Do not assume all mushroom species share the same method.
Video helps reveal hand movements and the working sequence. A demonstration from another farm may use different inputs or equipment. It is not automatically a locally suitable prescription.
Pause to list the materials, sequence and checks shown. Compare with the written lesson and its source notes before practising.
A measurement needs both a location and a written record. The meaning changes with sensor placement, stage and time. Repeated comparable records are more useful than a remembered reading.
Record the sensor, location, time and observation together. Ask an experienced trainer to check the measurement technique.
A crop plan links space, work and money. The sketch and calculator represent planning tools, not a finished project design or an income prediction.
List assumptions, missing information and who will verify each point. Test a pilot batch before committing to an unverified scale.
What should I inspect first?
No opaque recommendation score. The sequence follows experience, goal and species context; every current result is an external-review-pending curriculum outline.
Learning here is free and open. A self-check helps you revise; it is not a government licence, not a degree and not an externally reviewed standard. Sampling, tunnel operation and technical work cannot be proven online.
Self-check result ≠ reviewed competence.
