An Antrodia cinnamomea cultivation method sequentially comprises the following steps: step 1, obtaining a nutrient solution by mixing in proportion, wherein ingredients of the nutrient solution comprises Cinnamomum kanehirai extracts, carbon sources and nitrogen sources, the nutrient solution is placed in a porous carrier, the porous carrier has a peripheral surface and multiple micropores recessed into the peripheral surface, the nutrient solution is able to infiltrate into the micropores to form a nutrient layer on the peripheral surface and inner peripheries of the micropores; step 2, performing a membrane treatment on the porous carrier to form a membrane on the nutrient layer; step 3, sterilizing the porous carrier; and step 4, growing Antrodia cinnamomea strains on the membrane on the porous carrier, and then placing the porous carrier in a sealed environment for cultivation at constant temperature and humidity.

A mushroom growing appliance includes a grow chamber defined within a cabinet and a climate control system for regulating the humidity and gas concentrations within the grow chamber. The climate control system includes a water reservoir positioned within the grow chamber for receiving water; a wicking filter positioned at least partially within the water reservoir for wicking the water into the wicking filter; a water supply system comprising a water storage tank that is mounted adjacent the cabinet above the water reservoir, the water storage tank fluidly coupled to the water reservoir through a water supply opening defined through the cabinet; a recirculation fan positioned adjacent the wicking filter for selectively urging a flow of recirculation air through the wicking filter and back into the grow chamber; and a fresh air fan positioned adjacent the wicking filter for urging a flow of fresh air through the wicking filter and into the grow chamber.

The present invention relates to an advancement in a system primarily designed to he used for the cultivation of saprophytic mushrooms. It provides the basic necessities of mushroom growth, including fresh air exchange, humidity, light, and warmth. It also monitors environmental variables, including at least humidity and temperature, and other variables related to the system, such as water reservoir level. It transmits this information wirelessly via either Bluetooth or WIFI antennas, to an external system for recording and/or monitoring. The information from the sensors may also he used to form a closed feedback loop to control output of the systems controlling the environmental conditions.

The method grows a mycelial mass over a three-dimensional lattice such that a dense network of oriented hyphae is formed on the lattice. Growth along the lattice results in mycelium composite with highly organized hyphae strands and allows the design and production of composites with greater strength in chosen directions due to the organized nature of the supporting mycelia structure.

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.
