Tree mushrooms can be cultivated in buildings constructed of brick and cement. Alternately they can be cultivated outside in an open field or in the forest, however this type of cultivation is dependent on the climate. How to grow the mushrooms To grow tree mushrooms on sawdust is a complicated process, but success will come if procedures are followed carefully. The first stage is the most important and needs the most expensive equipment. An expert or a professional institute usually manages this stage.

The substrate preparing stage is where the hard work begins. The bags are cooked at 100C for 12 hours, or they are autoclaved at 121C for 2 hrs. The cooking and autoclaving is done to sterilize the substrate and make the media contaminant free. This step is very important. When the bag is cool, it is ready for the inoculation stage.
