What temperature is maintained inside a mushroom grow room?

Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) grow rooms are maintained at 15-18°C during cropping with 85-90% relative humidity. During spawn run, temperature is kept at 22-25°C. Daikin packaged AC units with digital controllers ensure precise climate control.

Why use PPGL PUF panels instead of brick walls?

PPGL PUF panels provide superior insulation (R-value 15-20), are airtight, resist corrosion in high-humidity environments, and can be installed in 3-5 days vs. weeks for brick construction. They also allow easy expansion and relocation.

How many bags can fit in a mushroom grow room?

Bag capacity depends on room size and rack configuration. An 18×40 ft room with 4-tier GI racks holds approximately 450-550 bags of 10 kg each. A 22×50 ft room can accommodate 800-1000 bags.

Can I start with one room and expand later?

Yes, modular expansion is a key advantage of PUF panel rooms. You can start with a single room and add more rooms as your production scales. MushroomWale designs layouts with future expansion in mind.

Which HVAC brand do you use for mushroom grow rooms?

MushroomWale exclusively uses Daikin packaged AC units for mushroom grow rooms. Daikin offers superior energy efficiency, precise temperature control, and reliable performance in the high-humidity conditions of mushroom cultivation.

What is the difference between PPGL and PPGI panels?

PPGL (Pre-Painted Galvalume) uses an aluminium-zinc alloy coating that provides 2-3× better corrosion resistance than PPGI (Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron). In mushroom rooms with 85-95% humidity, PPGL lasts 25-30 years vs. 10-15 years for PPGI.

How long does it take to construct a mushroom grow room?
