Mushroom Farm

Visited a mushroom farm. Got access as one of our helper's relative is the caretaker. This place is located at maybe thousand plus meters above sea level. The place is so cooling, heavy fog, just after a rain. We were there about 3.00 pm. Visibility is about ten meters only.




 There used to be three housing for the mushroom, but due to disease, all where dismantled. Now only one was rebuilt. Even with one house, it is able to store a large number of mushrooms. The thermometer reads 19 C. These seedling where bought from a supplier, so the work is just to water them and harvest.






When these seedlings arrive, they have to be unplug, then mist with water. Temperature is cool here due to the altitude. Practically no energy cost as it's natural.

 Different stages of growth.



 Mushroom going to be harvested soon.


 Caretaker had planted some strawberries.

Picture of me taken with a self timer. I guess there is a potential of turning this place into a resort style farm as the place is so cooling and inviting. A cafeteria serving hot drinks is most welcome.
