Management and accountant journalSummary: The edible mushroom of Calocybe indica commonly considered as the button mushroom of Bengal has a robust size and can be grown easily on paddy straw substrate in polythene bags with a casing soil. In Bengal it grows from June to December. The mushroom also has very good health benefits including anti-oxidant effect, anti-microbial and anti-cancerous effects. The cost involved is around Rs. 35,550/- for 800 to 1000 Kg and the price is around Rs.150/- per Kg. Thus the profit is around 320 times. But in spite of these attractive points, mushrooms have not gained enough popularity due to lack of awareness. Mushrooms can be highly prospective for amateur and professional growers in West Bengal.
