Mushroom & Fungi Cultivation Greenhouse (Specialized)

Mushroom & Fungi Greenhouses

Mushroom and fungi greenhouses typically use multi-span plastic film greenhouses or single-span arched tunnels.

Both greenhouse types offer spacious interiors, a scientific structure, and easy management, making them ideal for the production of mushrooms and fungi.

Greenhouse Structure A: Multi-span Design

The multi-span plastic film greenhouse features an advanced interconnected structure, offering high land use efficiency and a spacious interior.

It is easy to manage and can be equipped with various systems, including smart control systems.

Greenhouse Structure B: Single-span Design

The single-span arched plastic film greenhouse is more affordable and has lower operational costs, providing a high return on investment.

The greenhouse roof can be equipped with an electrically controlled insulation blanket. During cold nights, the blanket unfolds to cover the entire greenhouse, ensuring a warm and suitable temperature inside, with enhanced insulation during the cold winter months.

Key Considerations for Building a Mushroom Greenhouse:

1. Site Selection & Planning

Choose a flat, open, well-ventilated location with ample water supply and good transportation access.

Plan the greenhouse orientation based on the scale of cultivation and site conditions, typically north-south for optimal lighting.

Design the layout of aisles, work areas, and cultivation racks for efficient and smooth production.

2. Greenhouse Structure Design

①、Frame:

Use hot-dip galvanized steel pipes for corrosion resistance and durability.

For greenhouses with a span of 8-10 meters, use pipes with a 32mm diameter and a 1.5-2mm wall thickness to withstand snow and wind loads.

Alternatively, galvanized oval steel pipes offer better resistance to wind and snow but come at a higher cost.

②、Roof & Covering:

The roof should have a curved design for better drainage and light distribution.

Use polyethylene or PVC plastic film with good light transmission, excellent insulation, and anti-aging properties (0.1-0.12mm thick). Secure the film with fastening accessories to prevent wind damage.

③、Ventilation & Cooling System:

Install ventilation openings on both sides of the greenhouse.

Use a roll-up system to control airflow and adjust temperature and humidity. For higher standards, a fan and wet curtain cooling system can be added.

3. Internal Equipment Configuration

①、Shading & Insulation System:

Install shading nets on the roof to block excessive sunlight in summer, and use insulation blankets in winter for better heat retention.

②、Mist Irrigation System:

Install pipes and misting nozzles to evenly distribute water, meeting the moisture requirements of fungi at different growth stages. Combine with a fertilization system for integrated water and fertilizer management to improve efficiency.

③、Cultivation Racks:

Multi-layer cultivation racks made from stainless steel or rust-treated steel. The spacing between layers is 30-40 cm, maximizing space and increasing production efficiency.

Why Multi-span Plastic Film Greenhouses are Ideal for Mushrooms

Glass greenhouses are rarely used for large-scale mushroom cultivation due to their high construction and operational costs.

Multi-span plastic film greenhouses and single-span arched tunnels are more cost-effective and efficient for fungi production, offering a scientific structure and easy management.
