The MycoSphere is the first-ever garden bed system engineered specifically for mushroom cultivation, combining modular cover materials with an automated misting system to give you full control over your growing environment. Designed like a raised mushroom bed with interchangeable covers, the MycoSphere mimics natural woodland conditions while offering the consistency, protection, and ease that mushrooms love.
With the MycoSphere, you get the best of both worlds:
✔️ Natural airflow and temperature fluctuations for healthier fruiting
✔️ Protection from pests, heat, and excess moisture
✔️ Consistent humidity and reliable yields through automation
✔️ An extended growing season; from spring through frost
In short: grow more, worry less. Your mushrooms stay happy, hydrated, and protected no matter what Mother Nature is doing.
Below are four ways to use the MycoSphere to cultivate mushrooms, whether you're a beginner or an experienced grower.
1. Plant & Grow Blocks: The Easiest, Most Garden-Friendly Method
Plant & Grow Garden Blocks are perfect for growers who want effortless results and added soil benefits. These pre-colonized blocks can be buried directly inside your MycoSphere bed, where they stay cool, protected, and consistently hydrated thanks to the automated misting system.
The modular covers help maintain the ideal microclimate, while natural airflow encourages strong fruiting. As the block breaks down, it enriches your soil and supports both mushrooms and nearby plants.
2. Logs: Traditional Meets Tech
Hardwood logs are a classic method for long-lasting mushroom cultivation, and the MycoSphere elevates this approach with modern environmental control. Instead of placing logs in unpredictable outdoor conditions, you can lay or stand them inside the MycoSphere, where they're shielded from excess sun, wind, and pests.
The automated misting system helps maintain the crucial moisture content necessary for log colonization by reducing the chance of drying out and improving your long-term success.
The MycoSphere is not only an ideal place to incubate your logs. Mushroom logs that are overwintered in a MycoSphere (without the misting system in freezing temperatures) can colonize much faster then logs that are left out in freezing winter conditions.
3. MushBucket: High Yield in a Compact Format
The MushBucket already produces impressive yields in minimal space, but inside a MycoSphere, it becomes even more forgiving and productive. The automated misting system keeps your bucket’s surface and microclimate humid, while the covers prevent heat spikes and protect against pests.
Just place the MushBucket inside the MycoSphere, dial in your airflow and shade preferences, and let the system maintain ideal conditions for fruiting.
4. Mushroom Beds: Your MycoSphere’s Full Potential
At its core, the MycoSphere is a highly optimized mushroom bed, but you can take it even further by creating layered mushroom beds inside it. Combine spawn with mulch, wood chips, straw, or other organic materials, then let the automated misting do the heavy lifting.
Because the MycoSphere regulates humidity and temperature, you can grow heavy-yielding species like Wine Caps, Oysters, or Nameko more reliably than in a traditional outdoor bed.
Each method has its strengths—bury-and-forget simplicity, long-term log harvests, high-efficiency bucket grows, and large-scale bed production. But inside a MycoSphere, every method becomes easier, more consistent, and more beginner-friendly.
Mix and match methods to build your own thriving fungal ecosystem. Whether you're growing for food, soil health, or year-round abundance, the MycoSphere brings the power of controlled cultivation right into your backyard.
