To successfully cultivate mushrooms, two factors must be taken into account: the mushroom’s biology, in other words, the properties of their development, growth, nutrition and reproduction and also the necessity to create maximally favorable conditions for the functioning of the mushrooms’ biological mechanisms.

It’s very important for the mushroom grower to develop a correct attitude toward these factors, and constantly improve his knowledge about mushrooms. Thereto, various technological documentation the analysis of which permits solving almost all problems that occur while cultivating mushrooms, is kept in farms. There are many options for establishing optimal conditions for mushroom cultivation - «there are as many opinions as there are mushroom growers». Here it is important to understand that the farm is created for the mushrooms and not vise versa. The basis of a successful work of a farm is a strict and thorough execution of each element of a technological chain with the maximal quality for the mushrooms, in optimal periods of time. In case of poor execution of one of the technological elements in all subsequent stages of mushroom cultivation, various problems could develop. Often, while selecting the options for the creation of a farm, or while trying to solve a technological problem, novice mushroom growers make decisions not in the «interest» of the mushrooms, or try to adjust the mushrooms’ «life style» to theirs. All this, generally, leads to a decrease in the yield. The optimal option for production and the technological process will be the one which will maximally satisfy the needs of a mushroom, with minimal expenses and simple technical performance.

Picking this option without the help of an experienced specialist is rather hard.
For a conclusion it can be said that creating a farm and cultivating mushrooms there, includes the following basic aspects:

A mushroom farm should be created starting with the fourth aspect. It’s rather thoughtless to begin creating a farm with practical works, not having a full idea of what you want, written on a paper. Saving and disorder are not suitable in this case, and they often result in unrecoverable consequences while cultivating mushrooms.
