Container Mushroom Farm

Adam Mushrooms Pvt. Ltd. · Thrissur, Kerala

A container mushroom farm that arrives on a truck

A 20 ft shipping container, converted into a climate-controlled fruiting room for up to 693 bags. You load fully colonised blocks, and the room holds your crop's climate recipe. We survey your site, build and commission the room, run a 72-hour loaded test and train your team.

Step 01 / 09
Shell
  1. 6,058 × 2,438 × 2,591 mm shell

    Shell survey & base

    Every shell is checked for corrosion, leaks and damage before conversion. Your site gets level supports, drainage and safe lifting access.

  2. Corrugated steel

    Walls go up

    The steel shell is repaired and sealed. Cut-outs for air and service lines are checked for structural impact before anything is cut.

  3. Hygienic finish

    Insulation & lining

    Continuous insulation and a vapour barrier against condensation, with a smooth, washable lining and coved floor-wall joints.

  4. Up to 693 bags · drawing simplified

    Racks & blocks

    Racks line both walls with a clear aisle. Fully colonised blocks are checked on arrival and each gets a batch ID and rack position. Bags are reached from the aisle with approved steps, never by climbing racks.

  5. Filtered fresh air

    AC & humidifier

    A split AC sized from a heat-load calculation for your site. A humidifier with low-water and overflow cut-offs. Screened fresh air in, exhaust out.

  6. Logged every 5 min

    Sensors & alarms

    Temperature, humidity and CO₂ are measured at crop level. Local control keeps running if the internet drops, and alarms reach a named person.

  7. Oyster reference: 22–25°C · 85–90% RH

    First flush

    Each species runs on its own approved recipe for temperature, humidity, CO₂ and light. The oyster range is a reference point, not a promise.

  8. Sealed room

    Doors & roof close

    The room is sealed. The AC outdoor unit is fitted on its wall bracket on site, after delivery.

  9. 4 release gates

    Commission & hand over

    • Site readiness
    • Mechanical & electrical checks
    • Empty-room test of every control and alarm
    • 72-hour run at working load

    Then operator training, and handover of drawings, recipes, SOPs and records.

How it runs

From block to buyer

The container is a fruiting room. Substrate prep and incubation happen in a separate space, so the room stays clean and does one job well.

  1. 01

    Blocks arrive

    Fully colonised blocks are counted and checked for seal, colour, odour and insects. Suspect stock is held aside.

  2. 02

    Logged & placed

    Each bag gets a batch ID and rack position, such as C1-R02-L03-P07.

  3. 03

    Fruiting

    Operators do rounds at the start and end of each shift, checking cap moisture, contamination and climate trends.

  4. 04

    Harvest & weigh

    Picked at the right maturity with clean tools. Gross, trimmed and saleable weights are recorded separately.

  5. 05

    Grade & pack

    Packed on a clean table and labelled with source batch and harvest date.

  6. 06

    Dispatch & clean

    Chilled where needed and dispatched with full traceability. Between crops, the empty room is deep-cleaned and checked before reloading.

What we promise
  • Your room passes 4 release gates, including a 72-hour run at working load, before handover.
  • Temperature, humidity and CO₂ logged every 5 minutes, with the records handed over to you.
  • Every bag traceable by batch ID and rack position.
  • Approved crop recipes, SOPs and hands-on operator training.
What we won't promise
  • A yield or income figure before your room has been measured over several crop cycles.
  • A price before we've surveyed your site.
  • Eligibility for any subsidy or loan scheme.
  • More bags than your room proves it can handle at commissioning.
Planning estimator

Run the numbers

Our planning model: containers × 693 positions × occupancy × 30 ÷ cycle days × saleable kg per bag. Change the inputs to match your plan.

Planning estimate · not a yield or income promise
≈ 470 kg
saleable harvest per 30 days

Real output depends on strain, bag size, block quality, climate and how the farm is run. We validate yield over several commercial crop cycles before any production commitment.

FAQ

Questions growers ask

How much does it cost?

Each build is priced after a site survey, because site works, power, cooling size and bag count all change the cost. Send us your district, number of containers and timeline, and we'll quote after the survey.

How many bags fit in one container?

Up to 693 bags in a 20 ft container. Your working capacity is confirmed during commissioning for your bag size, strain and climate, and it can be lower than the maximum.

How much will it produce?

That depends on occupancy, cycle length and saleable kg per bag. Use the estimator above. We validate real output over several full crop cycles before any yield commitment.

Who supplies the blocks?

The room runs on fully colonised blocks, and the estimator shows roughly how many you'll need each month. We plan your block source with you during the site survey. If you make your own blocks in a separate space, our spawn and MushPellets™ substrate are in the store.

Can I get a subsidy or bank loan for this?

We can't confirm eligibility for any subsidy or loan scheme, so we don't promise one. Plan the project so it works without it. On request we provide the quotation, drawings and specifications to discuss with your bank or agriculture office.

What does my site need?

Level supports, power with proper earthing, potable water, drainage, a covered spot to receive blocks, a clean packing table and a closed waste area away from air intakes.

What do I get at handover?

As-built drawings, wiring and drain diagrams, approved crop recipes, commissioning results, SOPs, a cleaning and maintenance plan, record templates and hands-on operator training.

Is it safe to work inside?

CO₂ is monitored and the room is ventilated. The door opens from inside, and entry rules come from a site safety assessment before start-up.
