hyperbaric chamber for growing mushrooms.
    #5439464 - 03/24/06 08:23 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I was looking to get my mother a hyperbaric chamber to supress her cancer, and a side thought of growing mushrooms in a 100% oxygenated room crossed my mind as I was researching it.

Anyone ever try this, or have any theories on the outcome?

I hear they cost around 5 grand though...

Interesting question! Makes me wish I had thought of it first... :frown:

The outcome I expect would be gargantuan shrooms probably about 3-4 ft. high. I have seen several shows about them being used to grow plants. The results are simply, everything is bigger.

However, since shrooms are a fungi and don't require the same growing conditions that is required by, let's say, a tomato plant....then maybe the results wouldn't be the same.

Try asking it in advanced mycology. Some of them may have enertained this idea before.

It would be a relatively easy thing to test if you have access to bottled oxygen under pressure (ie, from an Oxy-Acetylene welder).
Take a 2L coke bottle, fill it with spawned grain and let it incubate. Then get a valve attachment like those used to inflate balloons and attach it to the bottle with some silicon sealant or gasket paste (this might prove tricky, i'm just speculating). Alternatively, perhaps the lid screws could be used.
Now you can increase the pressure inside the coke bottle using compressed air from the cylinder, but gently so as not to damage anything inside (ie, don't just squirt air in at 30psi and blow a gale into the bottle! Use a flow regulator!).
Coke bottles are able to withstand a fair amount of pressure, probably 5-10psi, which is more than enough for this experiment.
I personally wouldn't think it was worth the bother, I doubt it provides useful gains.
