automyco™ 1
I wanted a mushroom grow chamber that was super easy to use and fully programmable so I built one.
The AutoMyco is a fully automated mushroom fruiting chamber. To grow mushrooms, simply put an inoculated mushroom substrate into the fruiting chamber and the AutoMyco will monitor and control the fruiting chamber environment to create ideal mushroom growing conditions.
And, if you want to nerd out on your mushroom grows, the AutoMyco gives you complete control over carbon dioxide level, humidity, grow light color, and grow light on and off times. The AutoMyco even monitors water levels and reminds you to add water so that if you are away from your grow for a couple of days everything will stay perfectly humidified.

fully automated control
Control the CO2 Level
The fruiting chamber has a real carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor. When the CO2 level gets too high inside the chamber, the Fresh Air Exchange (FAE) fan turns on high to purge the CO2 from the chamber and maintain ideal oxygen and carbon dioxide levels inside the chamber.

Control the Relative Humidity
The humidity sensor inside the fruiting chamber monitors the relative humidity level in the chamber. When the humidity dips below your target level, the ultrasonic humidifier kicks on and keeps the humidity at optimal fruiting levels inside the chamber.

Set Grow Light On/Off Times
The AutoMyco has a battery-backed clock that keeps track of the date and time even if power is removed. You can set the time of day when your grow lights turn on and off. The low temperature LED grow lights are full spectrum. You can select from one of 16-million grow light colors.

programming
The AutoMyco come pre-programmed with settings that will work for many mushroom grows.
For times when you want more control over the grow chamber settings, you have direct access to the AutoMyco's settings.
The AutoMyco has a micro USB connection recessed on the side of the black box on top of the humidifier. When you plug a micro USB cable from the AutoMyco to your PC, the AutoMyco will appear as a USB drive to your computer.
The AutoMyco will show up a drive named CIRCUITPY.
On the CIRCUITPY drive, you find a file call user_settings.py.
You can modify your AutoMyco's settings by editing the user_settings.py file with a text editor. Complete details on editing the user_settings.py file (here).
