Knowledge
About Mushrooms
We grow one crop and grow it properly: fresh, unwashed white button mushrooms, cultivated all year on our own beds in Barasat. This page covers what the mushroom is, how it is grown, and what it does for you.
We have one goal
To provide the highest quality
mushrooms to our customers
You are welcome to visit the farm in Barasat and walk through the growing rooms — most of our wholesale buyers do before placing a first order. What you see is what gets picked for you.
The variety we grow
Button Mushroom
Agaricus bisporus is the mushroom most Indian kitchens cook with. The mature fruit body is whitish, with a short thick stipe and a hat-like pileus. Underneath, the gills run pink when young and purple-brown at maturity — the simplest way to judge how far along a mushroom is.
It needs 20–28 °C to run its mycelium and 12–18 °C to fruit, at 80–90% humidity with steady ventilation. Holding those conditions is what lets us crop three to four times a year instead of once a winter, and it is why our beds run in a controlled room rather than in the open.

Nutrition
What makes a mushroom ‘medicinal’?
Mushrooms carry polysaccharides, phenols, sterols and triterpenes, each interacting with the body in its own way. Here is what the white button brings to the table.
- No cholesterol and low fat, with ergosterol and polyunsaturated fatty acids — good for the heart.
- Low calorie, no starch, low sugars — a delight for diabetics.
- High fibre, low sodium, high potassium — anti-hypertensive.
- A good source of B-complex and vitamin C; the only vegetable source of vitamin D.
- Rich in copper (cardio-protective) and selenium (anti-cancer).
- Studied for anticancer, anti-viral, anti-histaminic and hepato-protective properties.
