Mushroom System
Mushroom farming is an efficient and sustainable way to produce nutritious food with minimal space, water, and energy. By growing on organic waste like straw and coffee grounds, mushrooms turn by-products into valuable harvests. With fast growth cycles and high yields, mushroom cultivation supports food security, local economies, and circular farming initiatives.
✅ Sustainable Food Production
Mushroom farming requires minimal land, water, and energy, making it an eco-friendly way to produce high-protein food.
✅ Waste Reduction
Mushrooms can be cultivated on agricultural and organic waste, turning leftovers into valuable crops.
✅ Rapid Growth and High Yield
Mushrooms grow quickly and can be harvested multiple times per cycle, ensuring a steady and profitable production flow.
Get started
Mushrooms require extremely specific conditions for a good harvest. This includes preparing the substrates and spores, inoculating the substrate, incubating the mushrooms, and fruiting. As such, the growing of mushrooms requires three different modules; one for preparation , one for incubation, and one for fruiting.
Below is an infographic followed by a list of the basic modules you’ll need to get started.

Modules
Preparation module
The preparation module is used for storing mushroom spores, sterilising
substrates, and inoculating the substrate with the spores. This is a clean room, and houses equipment such as autoclaves for sterilisation.
Incubation module
The incubation module is simply a climate-controlled module, which stores the inoculated substrates so the mycelium can colonise the whole container and start to break down the substrate for energy.
Fruiting chamber
The fruiting chamber is where the containers are placed to be opened so the
mushrooms can grown. This module replicates autumn conditions to provide the signals for the mushrooms to fruit.
Control module
The indoor climate will require constant set points of temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (or oxygen for mushrooms), which will be maintained by a control module.
