A modular hydroponic tower array fixture system for the growth of organisms such as plants and fungi on arrays of hydroponic towers, allowing for the insertion and removal of individual towers from the array, is provided. Methods for the production of organisms such as plants and fungi using a modular hydroponic tower array fixture system are also provided herein.

The invention is an important innovation in mushroom culture in which not only are mycelia beneficially grown on the novel combination of a grain (or seed) and an herb, in the preferred embodiment of the invention the mycelial mass is grown in a co-fermentation with all of a grain (or seed), an herb and a juice.

Techniques for generating high-yield fungi production are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for generating high-yield fungi production, the system comprising at least one modular container and a growing system housed within the modular container. The growing system may include a substrate preparation system configured to accept substrate and prepare substrate for pasteurization, a pasteurization system configured to pasteurize prepared substrate received from the substrate preparation system, a draining, cooling, and packing system configured to cool and drain pasteurized prepared substrate from the pasteurization system and to pack pasteurized and cooled substrate into at least one growing container, an inoculation system configured to inoculate the pasteurized and cooled substrate, and a plurality of vertical racks coupled to a ceiling of the modular container and configured to hold the at least one growing container.

According to aspect of the present invention there is provided the humidifier cultivation and process comprising:

Humidifier system and process of the humidity cultivation such that develops the humidification process in the cultivation system, it can be used to produce humidity, such as water, solution, vapor, gas solution, mist etc. That creates humidity into the system and recycles it. The system automatically controls the increase and decrease of the solution. Humidity generator and humidifiers comprising ultrasonic humidifier that determines the size of the atomize mist size is 2-8 microns.

An illumination apparatus (300) has: a surface (310) to be irradiated; and light-emitting devices (200) that are each obliquely arranged directly above the surface (310). The light-emitting devices (200) each have a light-emitting element (210) and a luminous flux control member (100). The luminous flux control member (100) distributes light emitted from the light-emitting element (210) in directions above and below the optical axis (OA) of the light-emitting element (210). The absolute value of the angle (1) formed between the optical axis (OA) and the optical axis of the light directed upward is smaller than the absolute value of the angle (2) formed between the optical axis (OA) and the optical axis of the light directed downward.

A cap (10) for a cultivation bottle for brown beech mushrooms includes a cylindrical member (20) that is fitted onto a wide-mouth part (54) of a cultivation bottle (50). The cylindrical member (20) includes a large-diameter cylindrical part (22) that covers and is fitted to an end edge of the wide-mouth part (54) and an outer surface in a vicinity of the end edge, a small-diameter cylindrical part (24) that has a first opening (21) with a smaller diameter than the large-diameter cylindrical part (22), and that is positioned toward a center of the large-diameter cylindrical part (22), and a connecting part (25) that connects an outer peripheral edge of the large-diameter cylindrical part (22) with the small-diameter cylindrical part (24). A height of an inner surface (15) of the small-diameter cylindrical part (24) is from 6 mm to 30 mm.

The invention is a method for enhanced growth of mycelium in culture including the key steps of seed blend choice from among corn, rice, quinoa, chia, canihua, cumin and flax seed, germinating the seed blend prior to inoculating the mycelium starter, and conducting the mushroom cultivation with water and particular transmissions of sound and particularly colored light. Mushrooms grown by such a method not only mature in 13-15 days rather than 21 days, but have an enhanced nutritional and medicinal profile along with absence of unwanted organism contaminants whose unwanted overgrowth occurs during days 16-21 (or days 16-28) of typical mushroom culture.

The present invention provides a method for promoting the growth and preservation quality of Agaricus bisporus, and belongs to the technical field of cultivation and preservation of edible fungi. In the present invention, the methyl jasmonate solution is sprayed onto the surface of Agaricus bisporus at a concentration of 10-200 mol/L when the Agaricus bisporus grows to the mushroom bud stage, which can accelerate the growth and development of the Agaricus bisporus, improve the post-harvest preservation quality of the Agaricus bisporus, and prolong the shelf life thereof, thereby improving the yield and commercial value of the Agaricus bisporus. The present invention provides a new method for increase in both production and income and post-harvest preservation of Agaricus bisporus, can be applied to large-scale industrial production of Agaricus bisporus, and thus has important economic benefits and application promotion value.
