Abstract

Straw mushrooms are one of the food ingredients that contain lots of nutrients and are liked by the community. One of the villages that became the center of straw mushrooms in Karawang Regency is Pasirukeum Village. The mushroom in this village was developed by farmers who are members of the Sri Muncul farmer group. However, over time, the production of straw mushrooms are decreasing year by year. One of the contributing factors is the low quality of mushroom seeds and the lack of knowledge and skills of farmers in conducting nurseries. Based on these problems, this community service activity aims to help the community provide solutions, namely in the form of socialization and training in nursery of straw mushroom . The method used is counseling and training on seed production of straw mushroom.
