Introduction:
Mushroom is a mushroom used in food since the ancient
Egyptians have been called many names in the citizen
assembled or produced (food of kings - food nobles), which
is grown in the temperate regions of the world and is now
grown especially east countries and the United States and
one of the largest producing countries (350 thousand tons /
year) and then France, the Netherlands, England, Italy
and China, Japan and Korea.
The mushrooms are important horticultural crops that
global demand is increasing and it has become a global
production from more than 4 million tons per year and the
trade volume of more than 15 billion dollars as it is of high
nutritional value of food to the high content of protein and
vitamins and minerals especially phosphorus and salts of
potassium, calcium and magnesium, sodium and iron in
addition to the content of amino acids.
There are many types of fungi mushrooms in the world
that produces more wild, but there are about 15 species
having the capacity of the high prevalence in all countries
of the world
The importance of the project:
It is the project of producing mushrooms of successful
investment projects, especially
agricultural intensification
projects as a production per
square meter of 15-20 kg making
it one of the highest rates of
production and ensure adequate
income both for young people or
investors with job creation good
or reduce the problem of unemployment in addition to its
contribution to the reduction of the food gap for the
animal protein and the establishment of a project like this
also contributes to the reduction of the pollution problem,
and through the use of agricultural waste project and in a
manner which is true of the increased economic returns

 for investment in this area in addition to the reduction of
damages that result from the spread of pests and rodents
as a result of the disposal of waste bad ways.
the requirements and conditions for agriculture
Environment processing: a basic soil which is cultivated
mushrooms, and the environment is the processing of
coarse wheat straw, or, I believe any vegetable residue or
other fields. Then add rose 5% + 5% Agricultural
Gypsum, then packed in bags of plastic scheduler, and
then placed in barrels of water to soak for 3 hours, then
heats the drums until 2 hours boiling.
Then lift the container and leave it to cool temperature,
and drain a large proportion of the excess water, and can
be left about 6 hours before planting and up to 48 hours.
(This is the environment or soil mushrooms You may buy
them ready-made agricultural bodies in Arab countries or
companies that operate in the mushrooms and they are
many in the Arab region.
Buy seeds from an accredited places
Providing the right place either a room or basement is
built, as well as a greenhouse ... thermometer to measure
the temperature.
Featuring mushrooms from other projects easily be
planted so that anyone can be implemented successfully if
he adheres to a number of basic steps
The most important are- :
hygiene into account the full production of the site,
whether it be a room or warehouse or greenhouse or, and
the windows must be on a tight wire for not entering the
insects,
walls and be free of cracks and openings that may contain
insects and germs, must also cleanse the site before
planting using disinfectants.

 temperature, vary according to the type of mushrooms
used for example in the type should range between 18-22,
and no more than 25, while the mushroom type Albulurts
range from 18-28, and there are Chinese type who needs to
temperatures from 30 to 34.
Do not increase the percentage of moisture in it to 85%
for all types of mushrooms, not exposed to direct sunlight
so as not to weaken the fruits. When agriculture towards
plastic exposed to the sun, it must be covered by
entangling shading
Production
The project needs to be an area of between 150-200 square
meters and is used style of agriculture in the cylinder,
which is the best and most famous in the Arab countries
for being less expensive and less space in the place and the
cylinder length of 1.5 meters and a diameter of 30 cm, and
the need to 35 environment kg +1 kg, produces about 5 kg
fruits of the session (10 weeks), and can be used in homes
and medium-sized closets. on the linoleum on the floor and
then mixing of seeds, and packaged in the cylinder after
that, such as the mobilization of concrete columns, and
shall shake the disc more than once during planting so that
there are many air gaps and then connects the plastic
cover from the top after completing the filling, then the
cylinders stacked in rows. It must be between each
cylinder and the other 50 cm from all sides with an
attempt to install a plumb through the wires and pipes in
the walls.
