Mushroom Cultivation

Each producer has their own approach to cultivation, which is what makes our profession so complex and interesting. The growing cycle, the raw materials and the quality of the mushrooms to be harvested combine to create the daily growing pattern.

Consulting is not simply answering the questions you have today. I ask questions that will help you find the answers for yourself. This will expand your basic knowledge and help you face tomorrow´s challenges.

We offer professional support in the techniques of cultivation management of Agaricus (button mushroom), cultivation of Pleurotus mushrooms and diversification of the cultivation of edible and medicinal mushrooms, developing the cultivation of new species of exotic mushrooms (Shiitake, P.eryngii, Pholiota aegerita, Grifola frondosa, Flammulina velutipes etc).

We help in the design and improvement of cultivation facilities and the choice of varieties.

We advise on existing regulations regarding the use of phytosanitary products and new approaches in the control of diseases and pests in the mushrooms cultivation.

We guide you in the elaboration of the substrates and in the techniques of ecological culture offering you the possibility of reaching new markets, in line with the concerns of the consumer towards ecological and healthy products.
