Outdoor grow house opinions?
    #28527656 - 11/03/23 09:39 AM (2 months, 24 days ago)

We are looking to setup an outdoor grow house for oyster mushrooms. We live in the humid tropics (consistent 75-95% humidity), and have a good location on our property with a constant breeze and diffused light. We have done small scale tests on pink, golden, and standard grey oysters and the pinks especially did fantastic.

We are thinking of doing a simple stick frame with a transparent roof, then covering the whole structure in anti aphid netting to combat pests. Does anyone have any pointers, tips, or concerns with running a fully outdoor op? Our concern is that enclosed spaces get absurdly humid and hot, and I dont think most mushrooms would thrive indoors here, and and air conditioned space is out of the question till we can setup solar.

Yes the hardest part will be maintaining acceptable temperatures. Consider using shade cloth and lots of fresh air. You may try burying ventilation lines underground to cool incoming air. or if you have a basement somewhere you can pull air from.

there is another style of greenhouse which is sunken into the ground and the top is the only side that needs wall or roof. This underground greenhouse will really aid in keeping temperatures adequate. Also look at how RR buried a shipping container to use as a fruiting room. This gains the advantage of lots of thermal mass steady temperatures.

Are you talking about walipinis? Those underground greenhouses that maintain amazing conditions. There's a video of a dude growing citrus fruits in Nebraska in winter with one on youtube
Can't see how they couldn't be utilised around the world for growing plants and fungi.

yeah exactly like a walipini. Theres also a style where a greenhouse is built into a hill so that one face and part of the roof is exposed to the elements, another building style called a wofati is a home that is buried on most sides. All of these building styles take advantage of the earths natural ability to maintain a constant temperature due to the enormous amount of mass.
