Cultivating a unique variety of mushroom—the Split Gill Mushroom (Schizophyllum commune) one of the most loved mushrooms among the Nagas. This mushroom naturally thrives in the wild but our goal is to cultivate them in a clean, controlled setting, ensuring they are safer

[Sosang Longkumer @sosang27]

Additionally, we provided them with practical laboratory experiences that would benefit them in their future jobs. We always strive to provide young Naga minds with access to lab facilities so that they may gain an understanding of how labs operate.

[Sosang Longkumer @sosang27]

After a rigorous 15 days of industrial training, this group of MSc students from St. Joseph University @st_joseph_university_nagaland left with enough experience and expertise to grow mushrooms as they assisted a mushroom farm from start to finish in mushroom production.

Part 3

We are so proud of this young man, in addition to cultivating the mushrooms, he now creates the must-have tool for all aspiring shiitake farmers and will definitely be a cost-effective local purchase for them

Part 1

Shiitake Mushroom Grower and Mushroom Palm Tool Maker

Mayang is an enterprising 38y/o humanities graduate who’s into carpentry and farming. He took up mushroom farming out of sheer passion and is now a mushroom palm tool (inoculator) maker as well.

Part 2
While getting on his shiitake journey I informed him on the specialised tool (inoculator)required to drill the shiitake sawdust spawn into the logs which is only available for purchase internationally. I advised and guided him to create the tool and he successfully did

While much is being funded for #StartUps across India, people like @sosang27 on their own are researching, developing and handholding so many #SmallFarmers become #mushroom #entrepreneurs. Pl do reach out to such people too. @Neiphiu_Rio @NEC_GoI @MyGovNagaland @startupindia

[Sosang Longkumer @sosang27]

@ambajamir @Neiphiu_Rio @NEC_GoI @MyGovNagaland @startupindia Thank you @ambajamir for the support and acknowledgment..Means a lot..This product (shiitake sawdust spawn) is cheaper than the wood plugs so it will be economically beneficial for the farmers..

[Sosang Longkumer @sosang27]

Our brand new shiitake sawdust spawn is a success

Here’s a 5-inch-diameter cap of shiitake grown by a Mokokchung farmer using our new premium shiitake sawdust spawn.

Sawdust spawn has faster spawn run, shorter time to harvest and more cost-effective for large-scale growers

@imkongla Hi Ma’am..as of this point sells out in the local market itself …

[FOCUS Nagaland @focusnagaland]

Soybean, a legume crop, is being cultivated along the bunds of the TRC fields in Yangching village, Nagaland, as part of an intercropping system.

Intercropping benefits farmers with diverse crops, and healthier soil, leading to sustainable agriculture.
