You Won't Believe How Much Mushroom Can You Grow In 1m²!

In this video, we look at the production capabilities of my mushroom fruiting rooms here at the farm, plus we also go into how many square meters you need to meet specific mushroom production requirements.
Mushroom Fruiting rooms are most probably the most important part of a small mushroom growing facility or farm. Being able to grow a set amount of mushrooms each week to meet customer requirements is imperative. To meet these demands you will need to calculate exactly how much space you need.
We estimate the baseline of mushroom production per square meter is around 6.5kg/m² moving up past 10kg/m² for a more intensive room. A lot of this is strain-dependent, and some strains will yield more or less. Here at the Oak and Spore Farm we regularly get 7.8kg/m2/week, and find that's a very achievable target.

@HavokBWR Жыл бұрын

Also I was reading a paper done on white button mushrooms, so I dont know how well it applies to other types, but they found that the substrate not directly under the mushroom (this would be for top fruiting) doesnt have much of an effect on the mushrooms growth. Where as deeper trays produced more fruit per square foot. BUT per volume of substrate they found that shallow depths gave the most fruit per lb of substrate. Example- a 1'x1'x1' cube of substrate would produce less mushrooms than a 2'x.1'x.5' block.
