The growing process

A simple guided process from loading the cartridge to harvesting fresh oyster mushrooms.

01

Insert the cartridge

Slide a ready-to-grow oyster mushroom cartridge into the side of the chamber.

02

Fill the water reservoir

Remove the lid and fill the top reservoir with clean water.

03

Select your grow

Use the screen to choose the oyster mushroom variety and begin the grow.

04

Watch it develop

Mycelis helps support humidity, airflow, light, and simple growing guidance as the mushrooms fruit.

05

Harvest and replace

When the mushrooms are ready, harvest them from the cartridge and replace the cartridge for the next grow.

Designed to support the growing environment

Oyster mushrooms need moisture, fresh air, light cues, and the right timing. Mycelis brings those growing needs into one guided countertop system.

Humidity support

Helps maintain the moist environment oyster mushrooms need during fruiting.

Airflow

Supports fresh air exchange inside the chamber as mushrooms develop.

Lighting

Provides gentle light cues to support healthy mushroom growth.

On-device guidance

Shows simple grow information directly on the screen, without needing an app.

Ready-to-grow oyster cartridges

The cartridge is designed to remove the messy parts of mushroom growing, so users can focus on watching and harvesting.

Each cartridge contains prepared oyster mushroom substrate that is already colonised and ready for fruiting. Instead of mixing substrate, sterilising materials, inoculating bags, or setting up a grow tent, users load a cartridge into Mycelis and follow the guided process.

No substrate mixing

The growing material is prepared before it reaches the user.

No sterilising equipment

Users do not need pressure cookers, bags, jars, or lab-style preparation.

Clean cartridge format

The cartridge is designed to fit the chamber and keep the growing process simple at home.

Cartridges are currently in development and testing.
