Indica is cultivated commercially in southern India and is becoming more popular in China, Malaysia, and Singapore; it can be grown in hot, humid (60% to 70%) countries with a temperature range of 25 to 35 °C year-round.
It undergoes two phases, the dark phase and the light phase, where mycelium development will occur in the dark phase, and in the light phase, the pin heads start growing. The entire process will take 45 days to get the complete milky white mushroom
