Fungal-based Air Cooling System
20220354069 · 2022-11-10 ·

A cooling device according to the present invention includes a housing configured to accommodate fungi. Warm air enters the housing through an inlet located in the housing. The air flows through the housing, which holds fungi. The air exits the housing and can be driven by an exhaust fan. In some embodiments, a HEPA filter is included to purify the air and prevent dispersal of fungal spores.

Mycelium growth bed with perforation layer and related method for creating a uniform sheet of mycelium from a solid-state medium

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.

Mushroom growing apparatus, systems and methods
11678618 · 2023-06-20 ·

An organic growth substrate, which supports mushroom growth from an inoculum of the species to be grown, is disposed within a growing apparatus impervious to microbiological contamination from an external environment and operationally associated with an environmental control apparatus. The environmental control apparatus modulates air, water, thermal, and light inputs to, and outputs from, one or more growing apparatuses to establish and maintain the desired environment within the growing apparatus. The system operates via a plurality of sensing, digital processing and mechanical components governed by software algorithms and operator input. A lyophilizer freeze dries harvested mushrooms for storage stability purposes. The system is configured to exchange information with the operator via a user interface and wireless connection to remote devices.

Method for making dehydrated mycelium elements and product made thereby

A living hydrated mycelium composite containing at least one of a combination of mycelium and fibers, mycelium and particles, and mycelium, particles and fibers is processed with a nutrient material to promote mycelia tissue growth; thereafter dehydrated to a moisture content of less than 50% by weight to deactivate the further growth of mycelia tissue; and then stored. The stored dehydrated mycelium composite is further processed by rehydrating to reactivate the mycelium and to initiate growth of at least one fruiting body.
