Indonesia is well-known as the producer of various edible mushrooms which contain high nutritional values. SEAMEO BIOTROP through its Edible Mushroom Cultivation Unit has developed and cultivated two edible mushrooms, namely oyster mushroom and ear mushroom. These two mushrooms have various essential amino acids, protein, fat, mineral and vitamins.

Not only cultivation, SEAMEO BIOTROP also processes the yields of the two types of mushrooms into high nutritional and high-selling products, such as mushroom chips and mushroom nuggets, with good taste. In addition to the products, the Centre also provides information on edible mushrooms cultivation and superior mushroom seeds to those who wish to initiate mushroom cultivation business.
