How is Enoki mushroom grown and can it be done in India?

Enoki is a speciality mushroom with long thin white stalks and small caps, and it is more demanding than oyster because it needs cold conditions and careful control. It is grown in bottles or bags on sterilised sawdust or grain based substrate, colonised, and then fruited under cold temperatures, broadly around 8 to 15 degrees C, in high humidity with restricted air so the stalks grow long and pale. Growers often use a collar around the bottle and manage carbon dioxide and light to get the long slender shape that sells in supermarkets. Because of the need for cold, full sterilisation and tight control, Enoki in India is mostly viable with a cooling and controlled environment setup, or in naturally cold hill areas in winter, and is aimed at premium and supermarket buyers. It is not a casual beginner crop. Get the strain and method from DMR Solan or a State Agricultural University, and plan for cooling.
