2.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
RATIONALE
The fundamental reason for this proposal is that Pleurotus ostreatus, the pearl oyster mushroom or tree oyster
mushroom, is a common edible mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World
War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food. They are one of the easiest types of mushrooms to
grow, due to their fast growth, wide variety of potential substrates and tolerance to growing conditions. When cooked,
oyster mushrooms have a smooth oyster-like texture and a some say a slight hint of seafood flavor. This may also
contribute to their name. Commercial growers are harvesting oyster mushrooms all year round, so they're always
available.
Most oyster mushrooms are grown indoors under controlled conditions, so there is no good or bad season as with some
other crops.Oyster mushroom is already cultivated in our community and is already available within the locality.Thus,It
can be developed into many products.
Nowadays,the case of ASF is ongoing so it is very timely that this research is done because mushrooms can be an
alternative to meat products,it is also cheaper,but has the same meaty taste that has been enjoyed and appreciated in Asian
cultures for thousand of years and recent studies are shining in light on the nutritious and medical properties of these
amazing mushrooms.At the same time it is also high in protein,fibre,iron,zinc,potassium,calcium,folic acid,vitamins
B1,B3,B5 & B12,C and D.But the benefits don’t end there.Recent studies have shown that oyster mushrooms also have
the following medical properties which is anti-oxidant,anti-cancer,and cholesterol lowering.
