Small-scale mushroom farming is becoming a growing trend in developing nations. One example of a program in action is the Mushrooms in Ghana project. Nepal is the latest country where the idea has taken hold as described in Mushroom Farming Mushrooms in Jomsom.

Women in Jomsom, the district headquarters of Mustang, are coming forward to take up mushroom cultivation in a big way, reports RSS. With the trial of Kanye species of mushroom last year yielding success, farmers have started commercial farming of mushroom from this year. The demand and weather condition there is said to be ideal for mushroom farming. The credit for introducing mushroom farming in the district goes to the District Agricultural Office, Mustang. The agricultural authority is doing all possible to boost cultivation of mushrooms and equipping farmers technically.

What the heck is a “Kanye species” of mushroom?
