Consultation For Mushroom Growing & Fungi Projects
Practical, experience-led consultation for mushroom farms, mycomaterials, and outdoor growing projects.
Why Work With Us?
We help people and organisations turn ideas about fungi into real, working projects. Whether you’re setting up a commercial grow, experimenting with new mycelium-based materials, or creating an outdoor learning space, we’ll guide you through the process and help you do it well.
We don’t just grow mushrooms, we help build things that last. Our team brings together practical growing experience with skills in systems design, branding, and scaling up successful projects. When you book a consultation, you’re gaining access to a whole team with a wide range of experience - from launching commercial farms and solving tricky technical problems to creating innovative, immersive fungi-related installations. We’ll connect you with the right people to support your project and help it thrive.
Mushroom Farm Start-Up Consultation
Thinking about starting a mushroom farm but want expert guidance before you invest time and money? Our consultation service is designed to help you plan your operation with clarity, realism, and confidence - from first ideas through to implementation and ongoing support. If you’re serious about building a sustainable and efficient mushroom farm, this structured approach gives you expert guidance at every critical stage - without guesswork.
Step 1: Free 15-Minute Introductory Call
We start with a free 15-minute call to understand your situation, goals, and level of experience. This call allows us to determine whether we’re a good fit to work together and gives you the opportunity to ask initial questions before committing further. There’s no obligation - just a quick, honest conversation to see if we can help.
Step 2: 1- Hour Discovery & Planning Meeting
£150 + vat (1-hour video consultation with one or more of our team).
If we’re a good match, we’ll book a 1-hour consultation focused on understanding your business idea in depth. During this meeting, we’ll explore your goals, constraints, and resources, and begin shaping a realistic approach to your mushroom operation.
To get the most out of this session, we will ask you to prepare data on your project such as:
-
Experience & Species: Your background and target crops.
-
Production Model: Substrate blocks vs. sterile lab production.
-
Facility Specs: Grow space dimensions / capacity.
-
Financials: Start-up budget, labour availability, and yield targets.
This meeting is about fully understanding your plans, interests, and limitations so we can design a solution that actually works for you. If you are unsure about any of the above, we’ll be happy to talk you through your options.
Step 3: Bespoke Farm Plan & Presentation Meeting
After the discovery meeting, we’ll take time to do the maths, evaluate options, and build a tailored, actionable plan for your mushroom farm. Depending on your projects scale and complexity, this process, typical costs range between £500 - £1000 + VAT. We then present this in a second 1-hour consultation, covering:
-
Production Targets: Weekly yield forecasts and substrate requirements.
-
Workflow Design: Lab flow, incubation, and fruiting layouts.
-
Financials: ROI modelling and CapEx requirements.
This session ensures you leave with a clear, practical roadmap you can act on with confidence.
Mycomaterials Consultation
Interested in developing mycelium-based materials but need expert guidance to move your idea forward? Our mycomaterials consultation service is designed to support artists, designers, researchers, and businesses working with fungal materials - whether you’re at the concept stage or actively experimenting.
Free 15-Minute Introductory Call
We begin with a free 15-minute call to understand your project, goals, and current challenges. This short conversation helps us assess how we can best support you and whether a longer consultation would be valuable for your work.
There’s no obligation - just a focused discussion to explore fit and direction. If you’re curious about what’s possible with mycomaterials, the free introductory call is the best place to start.
In-Depth Consultation
£75 + vat (45-Minute Video Consultation Session)
If you’d like to go deeper, we offer an consultation tailored to your specific mycomaterials project. In this session, we can help with:
-
Fungal species selection
-
Substrate choices and sourcing
-
Growth parameters and environmental conditions
-
Forming, moulding, and processing techniques
-
Drying, finishing, and stabilisation methods
-
Troubleshooting growth or consistency issues
-
Scaling experiments from lab to small-batch production
The session is shaped entirely around your needs, whether you’re developing a new material, refining an existing process, or exploring feasibility. Our aim is to provide practical, experience-based guidance that helps you progress faster and avoid common pitfalls when working with mycelium-based materials.
Outdoor Growing & REGENERATIVE PROJECTS
Schools, Community Groups, Grow Spaces and Grant-Funded Projects.
Planning an outdoor growing project and want experienced guidance before you commit time, labour, and resources? Our Outdoor Growing Project Consultation supports individuals, community groups, and small businesses looking to design practical, resilient growing systems suited to their space, climate, and goals.
This service is ideal for projects involving outdoor mushroom cultivation, low-tech food production, regenerative systems, or experimental growing approaches.
Our aim is to help you design an outdoor growing project that is realistic, adaptable, and aligned with your resources and environment. If you’re unsure where to start or want to refine an existing plan, the free introductory call is the best first step.
Free 15-Minute Introductory Call
We begin with a free 15-minute call to understand your project idea, site conditions, and objectives. This allows us to assess how we can help and whether a longer consultation would be useful. There’s no obligation - just an initial conversation to explore feasibility and fit.
In-Depth Outdoor Consultation
£100 + VAT (45-Minute Video Consultation Session)
If you’d like to move forward, we offer a consultation focused on your specific outdoor growing project. During this session, we can help with:
-
Site assessment and environmental considerations
-
Species or crop selection suited to outdoor conditions
-
Low-tech and seasonal growing methods
-
Substrate and material sourcing
-
Weather, moisture, and pest management strategies
-
Troubleshooting common outdoor growing challenges
The consultation is tailored to your experience level and project scale, whether you’re trialling a small plot or developing a larger outdoor system.
Project Planning and Design
Detailed Plan + Presentation Meeting
For larger projects that require more complex planning / design costs range between £100 - £300 + VAT
ONGOING SUPPORT & TROUBLESHOOTING
£50/Hour + VAT (30-minute minimum)
