ABSTRACT:
A method and system for growing tree mushrooms indoors, from within self contained vessels. An enclosed cylindrical container houses a colony of mushroom mycelium and rehydrated nutritive substrate. Said container is surrounded by cloth/fabric with water absorbent properties. When holes are made through the fabric and container the mycelium colony is stimulated to produce mushrooms. The apparatus is then partially submerged in a shallow reservoir of water. Moisture absorbed from the fabric then supplies the mushrooms with required moisture for development. The method consists of filling the container with a substrate (such as whole grain), adding an appropriate volume of water through a hole in the container, and covering the hole with an adhesive membrane, then sterilizing the container and contents. After cooling, appropriate fungus is inoculated to the substrate and is incubated at a required temperature for an appropriate time period. Water absorbent fabric is then attached to the external circumference of the container.
