Kanye mushroom:
 Edible, oyster-shaped
 health benefits as they are low
in calories and rich in
nutrients.
 Cultivating kanye mushroom:
 Cut the straw into 2 to 3 cm pieces, soak in water, and
boil it for 15 to 20 minutes. Once the straw is cooled to
below 30°c and completely drained, it is mixed with grain
spawn.
Afterward, the contents are slightly compressed by gently
shaking or taping the bags to the floor several times.
bags are kept in a warm (20°c to 24°c) environment for a
month and then transferred to a colder place (below 20°c)
with high humidity and dim light.

Harvesting and storing of kanye mushroom:
-Kanye mushrooms are typically harvested when the caps start
to flatten out and the edges begin to slightly curl. Its best to
harvest them individually rather than pulling a whole cluster at
once.
- the best way to store kanye mushroom is to place them in a
paper bag or a loosely closed container lined with paper
towels. We can also keep the mushroom where the humidity is
higher.
