In a narrow sense, the world mushroom also refers only to the fruit body. Unlike green plants, mushrooms are heterotrophs. Not having chlorophyll, they cannot generate nutrients by photosynthesis, but take nutrients from outer sources. Fungi cultivation develops with the advance of science and technology. In history, human beings only hunted and collected wild mushrooms at the beginning. After a long period they observed and learned how to cultivate fungi. Presently, mushrooms have become popular throughout the world since they have wonderful food and medicinal values. The local demand for mushrooms is also steadily increasing [2].
Population increases are creating an alarming situation in the food supply in Sri Lanka. Malnutrition in terms of 'protein' deficiency is becoming a major hazard in developing countries. Exploiting non-traditional food resources can make a substantial breakthrough to meet the serious food deficit. In this circumstance, popularizing mushroom as part and parcel of every day food is
