Mushrooms
Local & Exotic
We produce exotic mushrooms
with a Belgian touch.
Circular substrates.
In 2021, 61% of our mushrooms substrates were made out of organic waste.
1. Waste is gold
We collect beer waste & wheat waste to produce our mushrooms substrates.
2. Pasteurizing
After mixing these ingredients, the mixture is placed in small bags before being pasteurized.
3. Inoculation
We inoculate each bags with mycelium in perfectly clean conditions to avoid any contaminations.
4. Incubation
Each bag is placed at an ideal temperature. Mycelium will grow in 4 to 10 weeks depending on the mushroom..
5. Fructification
Once the mycelium is strong enough, it's time to fruit ! We'll give the substrate a good airflow and a cooler temperature so the mushrooms can come out !
Underground.
We’re at the heart of Brussel’s city, in a 10,000 m2 century old basement called ‘Cureghem Cellars’.
Urban farming
Located between the metro station Clemenceau & Delacroix, we're at the heart of the city.
