ABOUT US

Mykoprisma is creating an autonomous mushroom-growing device that maintains ideal conditions for mushroom cultivation, making it accessible to growers of all skill levels.

This project benefits users by creating healthy, cheap, and nutritious food while also being environmentally beneficial by removing the carbon cost of growing mushrooms elsewhere and transporting them to consumers.

At the present time, there are a few options on the market that serve this purpose. Mykoprisma containers will create and maintain an optimal environment for mushroom growing in an enclosure small enough to fit on a countertop.

ANATOMY OF THE NETWORK-BASED CONTROL SYSTEM

The system is based around a REST API implemented in Node.js. The ESP polls the server at regular intervals, exchanging measurement values for control commands.
