In industrial mushroom production, maintaining a stable, optimal climate is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether cultivating Pleurotus, Shiitake, or other edible fungi, mushrooms are highly sensitive to fluctuations in temperature, humidity, CO₂ concentration, and light. For commercial-scale operations, manual monitoring and adjustment are no longer sufficient. Intelligent climate control systems have become a cornerstone of factory-style mushroom farming, ensuring higher yields, better quality, and lower labor costs.
Unlike small-scale mushroom growing, factory-level cultivation involves densely packed grow rooms and continuous production cycles. In such environments, even minor deviations in air quality or temperature can quickly lead to contamination, uneven growth, or reduced yields.
Modern mushroom grow rooms integrate environmental control systems to automate and stabilize all key variables throughout the production process. These systems are not just about convenience—they’re critical for consistency and food safety.
A typical intelligent grow room control system consists of the following core parts:
The central processor—often a programmable logic controller (PLC) or a microcontroller-based system—acts as the “brain” of the system. It receives real-time data from environmental sensors and sends commands to the relevant devices (fans, humidifiers, AC units, etc.) to adjust conditions automatically.
For multi-room facilities, a distributed control system may be used. This allows centralized monitoring via a single computer interface, while local controllers independently manage each grow room. This two-level setup improves scalability and reliability.
A variety of digital sensors constantly monitor the internal environment of the grow room:
Temperature sensors ensure the substrate and ambient air remain within optimal ranges.
Humidity sensors track moisture levels to support mycelial development and prevent contamination.
CO₂ sensors measure carbon dioxide concentration, which affects mushroom respiration and fruiting.
Light sensors help regulate exposure for species that require specific photoperiods.
All readings are displayed in real time and stored for performance analysis.
Environmental changes are implemented by a series of smart devices including:
Ventilation fans for fresh air exchange
Heating or cooling units (linked to AC or refrigeration systems)
Humidifiers for fine-tuned moisture control
LED grow lights for controlled light exposure
By automating these devices, the system eliminates human error and reduces labor demands.
Here’s why high-tech climate management is a game-changer in modern mushroom production:
Higher consistency in yields and quality
Reduced risk of contamination or pest outbreaks
Lower energy consumption through precise control
Scalable operation with centralized monitoring
Labor savings with automated response to environmental fluctuations
These advantages are particularly important for year-round production and large-scale export-oriented facilities.
In Satrise-supported farms, we’ve seen full automation systems increase production efficiency by up to 30%. For example, in a Shiitake grow room equipped with PLC-based environmental control, labor time was cut in half, while the rejection rate due to contamination dropped by more than 40%.
The system allowed precise scheduling of CO₂ release during early fruiting stages and optimized humidity control during pinning. The result: uniform mushroom size, higher market value, and minimal resource waste.
