The fermentation process is the first step in making button mushroom compost.

The purpose of the transfer, irrigation, ventilation and addition of some organic and inorganic raw materials at certain intervals during the Phase I process is to prepare the compost to be used in button mushroom cultivation and to create suitable conditions for the growth of mushroom mycelium.

Organic and inorganic materials such as wheat straw, chicken manure, gypsum, which are the raw materials of compost, are mixed homogeneously at the appropriate compost moisture level with the compost machines of the Phase I process (fermentation). The prepared compost is ventilated by transferring between the bunkers.

Our bunkers, designed with a special ventilation system for maximum humidity and oxygen level, guarantee you homogeneous and efficient fermentation in the button mushroom compost fermentation process.
