Abstract

This paper gives a detailed study about the use of different grains like wheat, maize, rice, sorghum etc in the production of spawn preparation for growing mushrooms. Different features of different grains. Steps involved in the preparation of mushroom spawn. Advantages and Disadvantages of grains in spawn production. Precautions which we have to follow in spawn production like aseptic environment etc. have been described. Here we provide the desired characters of a healthy spawn which is a must for growing the mushrooms. Hence this paper is of valuable use and provides all the important information about the grain spawn.
