A smart terraponic gardening system is provided that includes a first reservoir configured to contain a liquid and a second reservoir configured to contain a growing medium for a plant or fungus. A light source and a watering system are provided. A control unit is in electronic communication with the light source and the watering system. At least one sensor of a camera, a temperature sensor, or a humidity sensor is provided in signal communication with the control unit to adjust growing conditions based on the sensor output. In some instances, the control unit is programmed to maintain growing conditions for a specific plant of fungus growing in the second reservoir. The program in some instances is associated with a library of target plants or fungi, and their associated idealized growing conditions.

A mechanized cultivation system for large scale production of various species of edible mushrooms with controlled CO.sub.2 and humidity and temperature. The system uses a main cultivation cabin which eliminates the need for humans to enter the cabin during cultivation. The produced mushrooms are sterilized and pasteurized inside the cultivation chamber.

A harvesting program system iteratively generates current harvesting programs for performance by harvesting equipment on a mushroom bed. The system receives current mushroom bed data corresponding to the mushroom bed including growing mushrooms at the current times. The system processes the current mushroom bed data using a mushroom bed model to generate current virtual mushroom beds corresponding to current states of the mushroom bed at the current times. The mushroom bed model is trained using labelled training mushroom bed data including known values of the mushroom bed, and using previously-generated virtual mushroom beds corresponding to predicted states of the mushroom bed. The system generates using the mushroom bed model predicted virtual mushroom beds corresponding to predicted states of the mushroom bed at future times. The system generates current harvesting programs based on the predicted virtual mushroom beds, and transmits them performance by the harvesting equipment on the mushroom bed.

A mushroom growing appliance includes a cabinet, a grow chamber defined within the cabinet, a water reservoir positioned within the grow chamber for receiving water, and a liquid droplet assembly fluidly coupled to the water reservoir for selectively generating a liquid mist from the water stored in the water reservoir.

A mushroom grow assembly, comprising a top cover, a base assembly, a post, a transparent cover, and an extractor fan. The top cover includes a concave wall with a peripheral edge, a top opening, through openings and an upper receiving housing. The base assembly includes a lateral wall, a bottom wall and lower receiving housing. The post has a bottom wall that is mounted to the lower receiving housing and a top edge that is introduced inside the upper receiving housing. The transparent cover is mounted to the edges of base assembly and the top cover, surrounding said post. The top cover further includes a light assembly and a water chamber disposed inside said upper receiving housing. The post is filled with mushroom inoculated substrate. The base assembly, in an upside down disposition, can replace the top cover to allow at least one additional mushroom grow assembly be stacked below.

A method using a system adapted for continuous growth and harvesting of fungal fruiting bodies. The system includes a growth chamber, one or more mycelium feed assemblies, a nutrient reservoir with liquid media, one or more environmental controls to control an environment within the growth chamber and of the liquid media within the nutrient reservoir. One or more mycelium feed assemblies are arranged within the growth chamber. Each of the one or more mycelium feed assemblies includes a nutrient supply member and a mycelium colony which grows around the nutrient supply member, that continuously supplies liquid media to the mycelium colony. The method includes starting one or more mycelium colonies on the nutrient supply member, establishing that a mature colony has formed, and then maintaining the mature mycelium colony by continuous delivery of liquid medium to the mycelium colony, thus allowing for contiguous generation and harvesting of fungal fruiting bodies.
