Indonesian researchers helped a women's farming group in Kondang Jaya village (home to 1,538 families) transform their oyster mushroom crops into profitable products. The 20-member housewives' group saw a >85% success rate in skill improvement by selling fresh mushrooms and creating products like mushroom chips and nuggets. This is huge because oyster mushrooms contain 19-35% protein (higher than rice at 7.38% and wheat at 13.2%), offering an important food security solution for this urban-edge community facing declining agricultural land.
