Hi preti,
Its wonderfull idea to cultivate mushroom it demands very less time and easy to cultivate there are three types of mushroom which can be commercialy cultivated.

1.Oyster:-requires 25 to 30 degree celcious higely nutritive but keeping quality is poor on same day of harevest it should be sold.

2. Milky :- whcih demands around 36 to 38 degrre celcious good keeping quality good price.

3. Button :- which demands around 16 to 18 degree celcious higly nutritive fit in to all sorts of value addition grate demand in market prefered by all.

u decide which type of mushroom u want to grow.

My two bits based on western india (Gujarat / Maharashtra/Goa)
Oyster - Keeping quality does not matter as they can be dried. But no demand at all. you can get dry chinese oyster mushrooms cheaper than growing them here.
Milky- I assume you are talking about Calocybe indica - we call them false buttons as many traders here were selling them as buttons for the higher price. on their own they have no following.
Button: Huge demand in the market but very tricky to grow in indian (hot-humid) conditions...
