Provided is an apparatus for growing a plant or a fungus, in which struts provided for hydroponic cultivation or the growth of a fungus are kept out of the way. An apparatus for growing a plant or a fungus according to the present invention is provided with: multiple struts 1; brackets 2 respectively fixed to the struts 1; top-opened water passages 3 which are suspended over the brackets 2 and in which a plant P is to be grown; and lids 4 which respectively cover the upper surfaces of the water passages 3 and each of which has, formed therein, multiple holes (pot insertion holes) 41. Each of the brackets 2 projects in opposite directions around each of the struts 1. Each of the struts 1 is arranged at the midpoint of each of the brackets 2, and multiple rows of the water passages 3 are arranged in parallel so as to pinch the struts 1 therebetween. Each of the lids 4 is made from a material that can reflect light from above and can prevent the penetration of the light through the water passages 3.

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 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.

A self-contained apparatus for organic matter cultivation is provided, the apparatus having a cultivation chamber, a lid associated with the cultivation chamber, a substrate arranged within the cultivation chamber, an access point associated with the lid, and at least one air exchange port associated with the lid.
