Is mushroom farming profitable in India?

Mushroom farming can be profitable in India because start-up costs are relatively low, growing cycles are short, and demand for fresh and value-added mushrooms is rising. Oyster and milky mushrooms suit small growers because they need little climate control, while button mushrooms need cooling but fetch strong prices. Profit depends on yield, consistent quality, and a reliable route to market. Start small and scale as you learn.
