shiitake mushrooms

Nagaland’s Lhüvevolü A Rhakho shares how she learned to grow quality chemical-free shiitake mushrooms and set up Native Organics, which sells value-added mushroom products across the country.

Besides training over 500 farmers in Nagaland, his startup has gone on to generate approximately 20,00,000 Shiitake dowel spawns and 25,000 kg of Oyster mushroom spawns.

"People are unaware of the vast varieties and their nutritive value. There are varieties that most of us have never seen or tasted before, which can be grown in India without relying on imported packages.”
