Mushroom Cultivation Technology
Myconoko has developed a Mobile Mushroom Farm that can be installed anywhere — from urban centres and office buildings to private homes. Each unit includes a humidity-retaining growing chamber, LED lighting, a waterproof circulation fan, exhaust and spore filtration, a webcam, and shelving. An integrated IoT system allows users to monitor and manage the farm directly from a mobile device. The standard 1 m x 1 m system can produce up to 8 kg of mushrooms per month. It uses Myconoko’s high-yielding growing substrates, made at the Myconoko Mushroom Lab in Hong Kong from locally recycled wood and food waste.
The Mushroom Box: A Modular Desktop Mushroom Farm
The desktop version of the Mobile Mushroom Farm brings simple, space-efficient mushroom growing to smaller settings. Each stackable module measures 40 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm, making it ideal for kitchen counters, school science rooms, restaurant shelves, and office spaces. The system includes an automated humidifier, with LED lighting available as an option. When more growing capacity is needed, simply add Mushroom Boxes and stack the modules in a layout that suits the space. Designed to house Myconoko’s Mushroom Home Kits, the desktop farm offers a hassle-free and reliable way to grow fresh mushrooms at home, at work, or in educational environments.
Bespoke Mushroom Environments
From large-scale mushroom farms to immersive artistic environments, Myconoko brings ambitious fungal projects to life. This bespoke mushroom terrarium pictured above was designed and installed in collaboration with artist Zheng Mahler at PHD Gallery in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, from March to July 2026. Conceived as a microcosm of Lantau’s ecology, the installation required carefully balanced conditions to support the relationship between plants and fungi. Myconoko designed the environment, including its humidity, airflow, shade, and positioning, to encourage this symbiosis. The mushrooms displayed throughout the exhibition were cultivated by Myconoko. Once introduced to the terrarium, they continued to thrive and fruit independently in their new environment.
Workshops & Experiences
To share the magic of mushrooms and help more people understand their potential, Myconoko offers periodic and tailored workshops for adults, corporate teams, parent-and-child groups, summer schools, and curriculum-based programmes, which can be done at our lab in Kowloon Bay or at your location.
Workshop themes and activities include:
- Making Mushroom Home Kits
- Mushroom food science, nutrition and cooking
- Sustainability, waste reduction, and upcycling
- Therapeutic mushroom workshops for mental and physical wellbeing
- Environmental engineering, IoT, and automation
We also organise mushroom experience tours in Hong Kong and overseas. Most recently we took a group of fungi enthusiasts to Yunnan to learn, forage and savour exotic mushrooms.
