Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused economic paralysis for MSMEs, including members of
a group of oyster mushroom seed farmers in Sragen. One of them was the mushroom
seed farmer group Bangun Harjo. The objectives of this service were: 1) to improve the
skills of the Bangun Harjo Mushroom seed farmer group in making mushroom seedling
growth media and 2). Improved ability to produce F0, F1 and F2 mushroom seeds. The
methods include: 1). Training on making mushroom nursery media with potato and
cassava ingredients, and 2). Training on making F0, F1 and F2 oyster mushroom seeds in
a more sterile way. In addition, the following equipment was also granted: 1). An
autoclave with a volume of 24 liters, 2). A Laminar Air Flow (LAF), and 3). Some of the
equipment includes: petri dish, tweezers, erlenmeyer etc. This community service activity
has been carried out on 15 and 17 September 2022 at the Bangun Harjo mushroom seed
farmer group, Sragen. The results of the service showed an increase in the success rate of
making mushroom seeds. Previously, from 30 trials of making oyster mushroom seeds,
only 3-4 bottles of mushroom seeds were produced, but with LAF from 30 trials, 24
bottles of mushroom seeds were obtained. In addition, the success rate of making ear
fungus seeds has also increased, previously from 10 trials, only one bottle was produced
with poor quality. However, after using LAF, 4 bottles of ear mushroom seeds were
obtained with good mycelium propagation quality. The conclusion of this activity is that
the use of LAF is proven to increase the success of producing oyster mushroom and F0
ear mushrooms.
