Tap & Grow
With the Lykyn App, simply select your mushroom type and tap grow.
LYKYN will maintain the perfect humidity and airflow for your mushrooms,
micro greens or plants with dynamic, adaptive control.
LYKYN's integrated system of fans, sensors,
humidifier and power management creates
the perfect environment for successful
mushroom cultivation with minimal effort.
Variable-speed intake fan with HEPA filtration, waterproof design, and ultra-quiet efficiency.
Maintains ideal CO₂ levels with quiet, waterproof airflow and a reusable spore filter to keep your mushrooms inside the chamber.
Ultrasonic humidifier with a 2.8L tank keeps humidity levels perfect, no misting required.
Easily refill the massive 2.8L humidifier tank through this quick-access cap.
Lab-grade temp and humidity readings, protected by our water-repelling mushroom cap shield.
Check your water level without lifting the lid. Pops off easily after harvest for quick cleaning.
Sarah W.Verified Purchase"Really impressed with how well this controls humidity. My oyster mushrooms are forming beautiful clusters with none of the elongated stems I used to get with my grow blocks."
Melissa K.Verified Purchase"My kids are absolutely obsessed with watching the mushrooms grow in our LYKYN chamber. They check it every morning and get so excited when they see changes. It's become an unexpected family activity!"
Jamie T.Verified Purchase"I LOVE my mushroom chamber! It's sitting on my kitchen counter and has become a conversation starter. My friends can't believe I'm actually growing mushrooms!"
Rebecca T.Verified Purchase"I've been growing mushrooms for years and this is my new favorite grow box. The app works great, and once you place your blocks in the chamber you just sit back and watch it grow."
Kyle R.Verified Purchase"I wanted to wait until I harvested my first batch of mushrooms. This thing works as advertised. I had amazing results on my first try!"
How does cabinet color (white vs. black) affect mushroom growth or heat?
Under typical indoor lighting and Lykyn’s LED use, color choice is mostly aesthetic. Black can absorb a bit more radiant heat in direct sun, but indoors, this is negligible; what matters is controlled humidity/FAE/light, which the device manages. Choose the color that suits your space; the chamber’s performance spec is the same.
How can I schedule humidity cycles to trigger pinning reliably?
With Lykyn, pick the relevant species preset and let the controller manage RH/FAE.
How do smart grow systems handle power outages or connectivity loss?
The app alerts you right away so you can act before anything affects your mushrooms. Once power or connection is restored, the unit resumes using the last-known settings and species profile.
How do automated mushroom kits handle fresh-air exchange?
Active systems use intake fans (filtered) and outtake fans to exchange air and manage CO₂. Lykyn specifically uses variable-speed intake with HEPA and an outtake with spore capture to maintain ideal CO₂ while limiting spore escape.
What cleaning routine does Lykyn recommend between harvests to maintain a safe home grow?
Between cycles: wipe interior surfaces (e.g., 70% IPA), rinse the exhaust spore filter if visibly laden; every few cycles: empty/clean the reservoir and do a deeper wipe-down; periodically replace the HEPA intake. These steps are called out across Lykyn’s cleaning methods page.
How does airflow design impact contamination risk in indoor mushroom cultivation?
Stable, directed airflow with filtered intake reduces random drafts that carry mold/bacteria. Automated outtake keeps CO₂ in check while limiting spore drift into the room when paired with capture media on the exhaust (as Lykyn does). In passive boxes, room currents and inconsistent FAE can increase variability.
How important is HEPA filtration in a home mushroom grow system?
Quite important. Clean intake air lowers contamination risk; capturing exhaust spores helps keep surrounding areas cleaner and reduces allergy concerns. Lykyn specifies HEPA intake and a reusable exhaust spore filter; multiple cultivation resources note HEPA’s value for reducing airborne contaminants.
What are the top considerations when purchasing a mushroom fruiting chamber?
- Environment automation: Humidity capacity, FAE control, and app presets.
- Filtration: HEPA intake + exhaust spore capture.
- Noise & power: <35 dB and USB-C are apartment-friendly.
- Cleaning & safety: Tool-free access, wipe-down surfaces, food-safe plastics.
All are explicit focus areas in Lykyn’s design.
Is the Lykyn worth it for first-time growers who want automated light, humidity, and airflow?
If your goal is “set it and forget it,” yes. Lykyn automates humidity (ultrasonic 2.8 L), manages CO₂ via intake/outtake fans, and handles lighting within species profiles, giving beginners a smoother path to consistent harvests vs. manual spray/fan setups.
Are there mushroom grow kits that run on USB-C power?
Yes. Lykyn runs on 5 V USB-C and highlights low-power, quiet operation for kitchens/bedrooms.
What features matter most in an automated countertop mushroom fruiting chamber?
- Reliable humidity control (large tank, ultrasonic, easy refill).
- Fresh-air/CO₂ control with quiet, adjustable fans.
- Filtration (HEPA intake; spore capture on exhaust) for cleaner kitchens and fewer contaminants.
- App presets and manual override.
- Food-safe materials, easy cleaning, and flat-pack/compact footprint.
Lykyn explicitly calls out all of the above, including HEPA intake, reusable spore filter, USB-C power, <35 dB noise, and a 2.8 L reservoir.
Which indoor mushroom systems offer species-specific growing presets?
Lykyn lists 28+ species entries (e.g., Oyster-Blue, Lion’s Mane, Shiitake) in its Growing Guide/preset library.
How do app-controlled mushroom grow devices improve yields for hobbyists?
They automate humidity, fresh-air exchange (CO₂ control), and (when needed) lighting, so pins form reliably and caps develop fully, reducing common beginner errors like over-misting, poor FAE, or inconsistent light. Lykyn, for example, integrates variable-speed intake/outtake fans, an ultrasonic humidifier, sensors, and app presets to hold targets steady without manual fanning or spraying.
How does Lykyn’s app control with species presets improve yields for Blue Oyster mushrooms?
Blue Oyster (a high-FAE oyster) benefits from frequent fresh-air exchange and high humidity during pinning. Lykyn’s “Tap & Grow” species presets (including Oyster – Blue) automate humidity and airflow profiles appropriate to the species, minimizing leggy stems (“trumpeting”) and helping clusters fill out. You select the species in the app and Lykyn maintains the environment automatically.
