Resumen en inglés
This extension project was developed in the city of Montería (Córdoba) with the participation of women heads of families belonging to the “Mujeres Vencedoras” association. The objective of this project was to create a productive unit for the edible fungus Pleurotus ostreatus involving women of the association, as well as to obtain canned and fresh packed fungus. Firstly, the growth of the Pleurotus was evaluated on five different substrates (rice husk, coconut husk, corn husk, cotton cake and their mixture). Subsequently, the beneficiaries of this project received theoretical-practical training in relation to the production, harvest and transformation of the fungus (canned and fresh packed mushrooms) distributed in 6 sessions (20 hours in total). The participating women were able to acquire the skills to grow this fungus in the best substrate, corresponding to the mixture of coconut husk and corn husk (50/50). With the above, it was possible to establish the Pleurotus ostreatus production unit in the association “Mujeres Vencedoras” from Montería, which becomes an important alternative of bio-entrepreneurship which, according to the statements of Garza (2019) is known as the addition of the activities necessary for the creation of a company including various scientific disciplines, thereby generating an important effect on the study population with projection to other communities and great impact on the well-being of the region.
