Mushrooms are a high value crop, and consumer demand has markedly
increased in recent years. Nowhere is this trend more clear than with
specialty mushrooms, such as oyster and shiitake. Although requiring
very different conditions and practices compared with more traditional
"green" crops, mushrooms are a viable option for the small-scale grower.
As with all ventures, however, research and strategy are essential if
you're hoping to make a profit as a mushroom grower.
