What grows well around Guwahati?
Guwahati sits in Assam's ne monsoon climate zone. Assam's North-East monsoon climate gives high humidity and moderate temperatures (mostly 15–30°C) year-round. Oyster Mushroom and Paddy Straw Mushroom are exceptionally easy here because the climate does most of the humidity management for you. The hill districts can grow Button Mushroom and Shiitake. North-East states also receive enhanced central horticulture funding (90% subsidy under MIDH for some categories) — one of the highest in India. For first-time growers in Guwahati, the practical recommendation is Oyster Mushroom — it is forgiving, has a short cycle, and matches local conditions for at least most of the year.
