Oyster mushrooms are one of the food commodities that are highly favored by the Indonesian community, which has prompted the Bejalen Village Farmer Group in Ambarawa, Central Java, to engage in cultivation. Oyster mushroom cultivation has promising advantages, but there are issues such as decreased production due to temperature and humidity mismatch, wood powder waste, and used oil. Wood powder waste is used as the growing medium, while used oil is used as fuel. In the initial process, the wood powder is mixed with mushroom spawn and put into bags. Subsequently, it is sterilized, and incubation is carried out for 3 weeks. The purpose of this community service is to increase the market value production and maintain optimal temperature and humidity in the mushroom spawn growing medium. The implementation method includes the use of a thermohygrometer and periodic spraying to control air circulation. Additionally, a community service video on oyster mushroom cultivation was created, with the aim of enhancing the understanding of this subject and improving mushroom production in the Bejalen Village Farmer Group.
