On the next day, wet wheat straw with the specific moisture is filled in polythene bag in the form of compact layer of alternating with the layers of spawn to which the paraffin oil is added so that they can form mycelium on the surface. Three or four layer of spawn are sufficient in one polythene bag which is tightly closed with rubber band and is placed in a dark place after perforating from the sides randomly and cutting lower edges of polythene bag for drainage of excess of water if any.
