In line with the increasingly popular of oyster mushrooms as a healthy, safe, and nutritious food, and have medicinal properties, moreover supported by the growing development of tourism in Indonesia, the consumer demand for oyster mushrooms in various regions is increasing. The purpose of this research is to determine the value of BEP and analyze the feasibility of oyster mushroom business in the Gondangmanis Village, Karangpandan Sub-District, Karanganyar Regency. The research was carried out with a survey method, with observation, interview techniques, using a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The location in the Gondangmanis village was chosen because in the village there were oyster mushrooms farming. While the sampling of farmers was carried out by census, then analyzed descriptively based on business feasibility analysis, by calculating the amount of BEP (Break Even Point), ROI (Return On Investments), and PP (Payback Period). Data collected is compiled, classified, tabulated, analyzed, and then interpreted. The results of the research showed that the BEP value was achieved in the average production of 257.89 kg and the average revenue of IDR 1,959,999.63. Whereas the average production obtained by the respondent farmers is 1,500 kg and the average revenue is IDR 18,000,000.00 for each farming (4 months), the cultivation of oyster mushrooms carried out by farmers in Gondangmanis village is already above the BEP, meaning the cultivation of white oyster mushrooms is beneficial. The results of the analysis of the feasibility of the oyster mushroom business obtained the value of average Return On Investment (ROI) of 110%, meaning that the rate of ROI 110% is much greater compared to the prevailing interest rates in the community, and Payback Period (PP) of 0.906 means the period of time needed to return the capital is 9 months. This means that the cultivation of oyster mushrooms in Gondangmanis village is feasible.
