MightyGreens Mushroom Factory

Long description

How would you like to buy food was so fresh that it was grow at your grocery store and harvested the same day that you purchased it? And how would you feel if that food production process consumed food packaging materials, coffee grounds and ashes normally discarded by the store? And what if that food was cultivated in a controlled environment which harvests water from the air in a location where the parking lot cover is made of solar panels? And what if that food was chemical free and vegan?

Then you would be eating mushrooms grown in MightyGreens Mushroom Factory. We gather used cardboard, coffee grounds and plastic buckets from the supermarket, sterilize them in a bath made of ashes from the pizza oven and then seed the mixture with mushroom mycelium. And we create the ideal mushroom production environment inside a 40 year old upcycled shipping container by harvesting water from the air. That water is then dispersed by a ultrasound system, and the remaining moisture in the air is recaptured, filtered and reused.

The mycellium then converts the cardboard and coffee grounds into mushroom fruit within 30 days. The mushroom fruit is then placed in the store ( a 10 meter walk from the Mushroom Factory) for the consumers to harvest directly. And any left over mushrooms are used on the pizzas prepared in the supermarket.
