This time he has grown 1 lakh rupees Mushroom, which is full of many medicinal properties.
The market price of this rare Mushroom is Rs. 1 Lakh per kilo, so it is not available in Odisha, even in India. Dibyaraj has successfully produced this Mushroom called Ascomycete Cordyceps Militaris, which is produced in large quantities in the natural environment, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. According to Dibyaraj, it is the world’s most expensive mushroom, although some eat it as a food, but due to its high cost, it is mainly used by pharma companies or pharmaceutical companies. This Mushroom contains an antimetabolite called cordyceps, which has antioxidant and anticancer properties. This Mushroom is used as a medicine to treat cancer, prevent disease, build cells, improve memory, and tonic. Of course, Dibyaraj has to work hard to produce this mushroom in his laboratory. He controlled the temperature in the laboratory to create a natural atmosphere for the mushroom, he cultivated this smushroom in the bottle, for this, money was spent on electricity and other things, but if it is produced in a commercial setting, one can get a lot of profit. Dibyaraj has already succeeded in cultivating black paddy, black wheat, black pepper, black ginger, berries, biofood fish, goats, chickens, organic vegetables, kashmiri kesar and has set an example for others.
