Mushrooms temperature and humidity monitoring solution

Mushroom is a particularly delicate and sensitive crop to cultivate, requiring very specific conditions to thrive. One of the most important factors for successful mushroom growth is temperature. While the ideal temperature range can vary depending on the species, most mushrooms grow best within a range of 18-24°C. Maintaining a stable temperature is crucial, as even minor fluctuations can affect both the growth rate and quality of the mushrooms. Temperature regulation is essential throughout the different stages of mushroom growth. During the incubation phase, which typically lasts between two to three weeks, temperatures should be kept between 18-24°C to promote the development of mycelium, the vegetative part of the mushroom. Once mycelium has fully formed, the process moves to the fruiting stage, where the temperature needs to be lowered to around 15-18°F to encourage the formation of fruiting bodies.

In addition to temperature, monitoring humidity levels is equally important. Mushrooms require a high humidity level, usually between 85-95%, to grow properly. If humidity levels drop too low, the mushrooms can dry out and grow stunted. On the other hand, excessive humidity can lead to mold growth and other complications. Ensuring the right balance of both temperature and humidity is key to successful mushroom cultivation.

The BlueTag TH30 is a versatile temperature and humidity data logger that leverages Bluetooth wireless technology, allowing users to easily access real-time data and generate reports via a dedicated mobile app. The device offers the flexibility to be equipped with one or two external probes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is an ideal solution for environments such as freezers, medicine cabinets, wine cellars, warehouses, greenhouses, laboratories, supermarkets, incubators, refrigerated trucks, and other settings where accessibility and mobility are essential.
