Abstract
Oyster mushroom is one of the edible mushrooms. It comes under the class Basidiomycetes. Mushrooms are defined as a fleshy fruiting body of macroscopic filamentous fungi. Now environmental condition has produced lot of waste materials by agricultural production; that kind of agro-waste materials are recycled by mushroom cultivation process. In this chapter, we have discussed about oyster mushroom cultivation business plan opportunity, morphology, and its species list; the industrial level small and large scale production of oyster mushroom step by step methodology; and finally, oyster mushroom marketing, uses, and its cultivation profits.
