Abstract: 

The research aims to study the economic feasibility of the production of mushroom seeds of both oyster and Agaricus. The descriptive curriculum and the case study methodology have been adopted to conduct this study. The fungus seed production project is a winning project, but it needs technical expertise, but this project can recover invested capital within an excellent period of time (1.26 years), generating profitable profits, if ideal and appropriate technical conditions, and has reached the profitability factor for production costs (143.7%), which is a very good indicator, while for invested capital (79.3%).The research recommends a series of recommendations, the most important of which is to encourage agricultural investors to enter into mushroom seed production through the provision of loans through agricultural banks, and to encourage existing centers to continue production and expand their productive capacity.

Keywords: Seed, mushrooms, Oyster, Agaricus, return feasibility.
