Automated At-Home Mushroom Chambers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mella Uses Smart Technology to Grow Mushrooms at Home

— October 21, 2021 — Tech
The Mella is an automated mushroom chamber that uses smart technology to grow fungi. The home appliance allows users to grow and harvest their own mushrooms. FirstBuild is the brainpower behind the innovative kitchen appliance. The company is backed by GE appliances to deliver a mushroom fruiting device successfully.

Mella comes with automated programming that brings a precise amount of fresh air and humidity into the chamber to foster an ideal growing environment for mushrooms to mature at the right time and speed. On the outside of the machine, a refillable water basin funnels moisture into the machine while four LED lights illuminate the area. Moreover, the Mella is connected to a WIFi-compatible program controller for users to make easy adjustments.
