The Mushroom Research And Training Centre of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural university recently released a new and improved variety of mushroom called Tricholoma Giganteum. The new variety is expected to be a boon for the cultivators in the region.
Professor-in-charge of the centre V Prakasam said the new variety will be received enthusiastically by the customers as well.
"'APK 2', the variety being currently cultivated, released a few years ago had faced some problems. The existing variety is fibrous which take longer hours to cook and taste like radish. This new variety will overcome both these limitations," he said. There are predominantly two varieties of mushrooms, oyster and milky. This is the milky mushroom which is costlier and in demand.
