What is a Mushroom Pod?
The Mushroom Pod comprises a series of modular structures that, when configured together, offer a complete growing system.
The sizes of the modules can be varied to cater for individuals or a small group - or increased to provide a larger-sized Community Pod.
Typical areas are 45m2 (9m x 5m) for a Local Pod or 81m2 (9m x 9m) for a Community Pod.
​
The pods are interchangeable to suit a specific space or location or to provide a desired output.
The growing process
Each section of the pod's unique design supports a single growing phase to ensure a continuous production system and regular supply of fresh produce.​

The complete growing cycle is between 6 - 8 weeks as there are usually second and, potentially, third fruiting flushes.
​
Each week a new batch of inoculated substrate enters the growing system and flows through like a production conveyor. Wheeled racking is employed to ensure a smooth and consistent flow of product through the process phases.
​
The environment needs to be right for each growing phase so the system delivers, monitors and varies factors such as light, air purity, humidity and temperature. This is a key benefit of the pod's unique design.​​
