Mushroom farming is highly regarded as a profitable business. Many farmers who risked their resources and began this farming endeavor have tasted success and an affirmative turn around in their lives. Going large scale on a project such as this would translate into higher profits and employment opportunities for the unemployed. Most farmers in Ghana have gone small scale on mushroom farming due to inaccessibility to funds and loans. Hence to start such a business, use resources that are available to you. Mushroom farming is an affordable venture to start in the Ghanaian community. Small amount of capital is required to purchase spawn. The other requirements such as substrates are recyclable, and are found everywhere. It is very easy to generate income with house waste by fathoming the fundamentals in mushroom farming, and knowing where to obtain genuine spawns.

An establishment of special structures are not really necessary- a free room in your house can be used for this venture. Light and temperature control are easy- just cover them up when necessary. Substrates such as cassava peeling,and sawdust can be used. The common mushrooms usually grown in Ghana for commercial purposes include shiitakes,oyster mushroom, and volvariella volvacea. It is very advisable to do one's best to produce these mushrooms under hygienic conditions. Mushroom has the propensity to alter the lives of Ghanaians for the good. Hence, this form of farming should be promoted among-st ourselves.
