Raya Pendem 54, Pendem,   Malang.  This place is easy to be reached while it is on the side of the main road which connects Surabaya city and Batu city. When you are driving along this street from Surabaya after passing Karangploso, please pay attention on your left side than you will find a big banner is hung in front of a blue house. On that banner there is a writing “Jamur Tiram Segar (Petik Sendiri) dan Log Media”. Then, you can move down from your car and take a walk into the gate of the house.
This cultivation place provides many benefits for you, your friends and family if you choose it as your vacation destination. One of them is you will be met by the owner whose name is Mr. Aruman. He will guide you, your friends and family to his mushroom cultivation factory.

On the other hand, you can walk around the factory to see directly the process to cultivate mushroom and meet the workers there. Moreover, the owner will give you a chance to practice to make “LOG” or “Mushroom life media” and also you can practice spreading water from a water pot to keep the humidity of LOG or mushroom media.

You only have to spend Rp. 2.500,- per LOG and Rp. 10.000,- per kg of oyster mushroom. Get your smart vacation now!
