01
True humidity automation
A piezo ultrasonic humidifier with a 2.8L tank pulses on against an SHT3x-DIS sensor. Set your RH band in the app (most species: 88 to 92%) and the chamber holds it. No daily misting, no soggy chamber walls.
Mushroom Fruiting Chambers
A real mushroom fruiting chamber. Not a perlite tub with holes in it.
A fruiting chamber is the controlled environment a fully-colonized substrate needs to form mushrooms. Humidity, fresh air, and light all matter, and a clean room temperature matters too. Hobbyists used to build shotgun fruiting chambers (SGFC) and monotubs from storage totes, perlite, and a spray bottle. The Lykyn Mushroom Fruiting Chamber is the finished, automated answer to all of that, sized to fit a 5lb block and quiet enough to live in a kitchen.

Why grow with Lykyn
02
Fresh-air exchange that does not lose humidity
Two variable-speed fans run a 4-hour FAE cycle by default, timed to clear CO2 without crashing RH. You can override to longer or shorter cycles per species (oyster pins love higher FAE; Lion's Mane prefers less).
03
Lighting per species, not generic
Blue 465-475nm, red 620-630nm, and green 515-525nm LEDs. The Lykyn app preloads light schedules for 28+ species so you do not have to research photoperiods.
04
Replaces every DIY rig you have tried
If you have built a shotgun fruiting chamber and lost it to bacteria, or run a monotub and watched it dry out by day 6, the chamber pays for itself in saved blocks. Most growers break even after 4 to 6 fruiting runs.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mushroom fruiting chamber?
A fruiting chamber is the high-humidity, well-ventilated, gently-lit space that triggers a colonized substrate to form mushroom pins and grow them to harvest size. Without one, even a perfectly colonized block will dry out, abort pins, or grow slowly and unevenly.
How do I build a mushroom fruiting chamber?
Traditional DIY: a clear storage tote, drill 1/4 inch holes every 2 inches on all 6 sides, lay 4 to 6 inches of saturated perlite on the bottom, mist the inside walls 2 to 4 times a day. It works, but it is labor-intensive and easy to contaminate. The Lykyn chamber automates the same physics with a humidifier, sensor, and fans.
How often should I open a fruiting chamber for fresh air?
With a DIY chamber, 2 to 4 fan-outs per day (literally fanning the open lid for 30 seconds). The Lykyn chamber runs 6 automated fresh-air-exchange cycles per day, which is what most reliable home setups do by hand.
How do you heat a mushroom fruiting chamber?
The cheapest path is a $15 reptile or seedling heat mat under the chamber, with a thermostat to keep substrate temp in the 70 to 75°F range. The Lykyn chamber does not include built-in heat, because the wattage and price tradeoff did not make sense for the species we focus on.
Does a mushroom fruiting chamber need to be sterile?
It needs to be clean, not sterile. Mushrooms fruit on heavily-colonized substrate that already out-competes most contaminants. Wipe the chamber with 70% isopropyl between species, change the humidifier water weekly, and you are good.
If you are picking your first chamber and want fast results, the single-tier chamber with a Pink Oyster block is the most repeatable starter combo we ship.
