Free education designed for the curious hobbyist to the active researcher and industry expert. In many ways this has always been a core to our vision - a global interconnected platform enabling research meeting industry methods detailed in full written, visual, interactive, animated and analytical accounts.

Chemical balancing can be complex, so we are working on a UI to help you study these processes in an efficient and easily adaptable manner.

Methods for measuring traits, selection of species, intra-specific variation and presenting valuable differences between field- and lab-based processes will be at your fingertips.

The wide range of resources that fungi can degrade is a measure for the exploration of underutilised raw materials and agricultural wastes. Good quality outputs require good inputs and understanding of each ingredient. Extending industry-standard substrate designs to different resources is a core requirement to advancing the cultivation of macrofungi. Especially in terms of foreign substrates that may be acceptable, non-toxic and beneficial in some limiting or promoting way.

Taking a scientific approach to substrate design can be complicated and requires planning and exploration in the process leading up to the preparation. Regardless of what a recipe is used for there are two essential components: ingredients & the recipe. The important aspects are the ratios of ingredients for scaling considerations. Our system will make substrate design easier to understand, improve in a trackable manner, and yield unique insights.

That the most dedicated hobbyists might be aware of but are also valuable to the industry and researchers

Coupling of ingredients data and other upstream or downstream analyses all factor into systems dealing with 2nd generational investigations.

Building a cultivation line for macrofungal species requires ‘know-how’ and the outlining of growth parameters at different life stages. More so with more experience cultivators want to understand protocols that select for or against fungal functional traits and other important markers such as fruitbody development among many others. Environmental control is an all important aspect for fungiculture and we are also looking into what is possible to control, track and yield valuable insight at different levels of production.

A host of metrics and analysis to describe characteristics, find correlations, or test hypotheses in fungiculture as well as some new approaches. Each part of our platform addresses fungiculture & mycology at a particular level and scale of biology. While levels and scales are two different perspectives it is important to understand which processes and techniques apply to the microscopic and macroscopic worlds. Clearly defined data architecture opens up systems biology approaches in agricultural settings.
