Controlled Incubation for Stronger, Healthier Fruiting Blocks
The incubation rooms provide a temperature-controlled environment for the mycelium to colonise into fruiting blocks, ensuring optimal growth before they are ready for sale.
After inoculation, the hydrated and sterilised substrate is placed in incubation, where the mycelium fully colonises the substrate, transforming it into a ready-to-fruit mushroom block. Carefully managing temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels ensures strong, consistent colonisation, reducing contamination risks and maintaining high-quality yields.
Why These Rooms are Essential
Incubation is a critical stage in mushroom cultivation – without proper temperature and humidity control, colonisation slows, contamination risks increase, and production efficiency drops.
By investing in well-insulated, modular incubation rooms, we can ensure:
Faster and more reliable colonisation of fruiting blocks
A scalable and adaptable system that grows with demand
The Role of the Incubation Rooms in Our Facility
We have planned for two incubation rooms, constructed using second-hand and graded cold room panels for cost-effectiveness and sustainability. These rooms will:
Ensure scalability – as demand grows, additional space can be incorporated with minimal disruption.
Maintain stable incubation conditions year-round – ensuring consistent production.
Provide flexibility – cold room panels can be expanded, repositioned, or customised as needed.
Improve energy efficiency – fully insulated panels minimise heat loss, keeping running costs low.

Why We Need Funding for This Equipment
These trolleys are a critical part of our incubation system. With sufficient funding, we can secure and install the incubation rooms, allowing us to meet growing demand while keeping costs and waste to a minimum.
