The present invention relates to a method of producing mushrooms, comprising the steps of: i) providing a tray having a first surface and an opposite second surface and comprising a plurality of depressions in the first surface, the inner surfaces of the depressions defining receptacles open to the first surface for holding a mushroom growth medium and the outer surfaces of the depressions defining protrusions extending out from the second surface, ii) filling each receptacle at least partially with a mushroom growth medium, iii) applying a foil or sheet to the first surface so as to close each receptacle, iv) pasteurizing the mushroom growth medium, v) inoculating the growth media with mushroom spawn by injecting the mushroom spawn through the foil or sheet into the mushroom growth medium, vi) incubating the growth medium for allowing a mushroom mycelium to form in the mushroom growth medium, vii) at least partially removing or opening the foil or sheet above the receptacles to allow mushrooms to grow to protrude from the first surface, and viii) harvesting the mushrooms. The present invention further relates to a device for producing mushrooms.

A mycelium growth bed for growing a solid substrate-bound mycelium through which the mycelium composite is easily and readily removed. This is achieved through the use of a perforation layer embedded between the mycelium substrate and the mycelium composite so as to create a uniform structural weakness and thereby enhancing harvesting abilities of the ex-substrate mycelium via a greatly reduced and uniform tear strength. The perforation layer, through which the mycelium grows, allows for the gated and controlled extrusion of a matrix of colonial cells that may be easily and uniformly delaminated from the underlying mycelium substrate.

A fungal growth chamber includes a base, multiple walls extending upward from the base, and a cavity defined by the base and the walls. A lid contacts each of the walls and encloses the cavity. Multiple ventilation holes disposed about the walls. The plurality of ventilation holes includes a set of intake holes and a set of exhaust holes, and each hole in the set of exhaust holes is spaced farther from the base than each hole in the set of intake holes.

A folding device having a simple structure and capable of efficiently folding an unfilled portion of a bagged culture medium block is provided. The folding device has a bag body, which has at least a bottom portion and a bag mouth, and has a filled portion in the bag body, in which a predetermined amount of culture medium is filled, and the unfilled portion, which is from an upper surface of the filled portion to the bag mouth. The folding device includes an opening mechanism for blowing air from a side of the bag mouth into the bag body to keep the bag mouth open; a folding mechanism having one or more folding jigs for pushing the unfilled portion of the bag body from inside or outside; and a tilting mechanism for tilting the unfilled portion toward the direction approaching to the filled portion.

A greenhouse and indoor cultivation method of Stropharia stropharia is provided which includes the following steps: planting environment; ridged bottom reinforcement; mixing soil material; piling up material and fermentation; interval mixing; inoculating auxiliary materials; managing germination; picking of mushroom on time. The production method of the present disclosure has beneficial effects of preventing the accumulation of water at the bottom of ridges and soaking the strains of Stropharia stropharia to bad, watering the mushrooms more evenly to prevent uneven production due to over-watering in some places and under-watering in some places.
