Spoppo

The oyster mushroom variety Spoppo is better able to withstand the cold. Since we built this tower inside the barn in the height of winter, it seemed like a good choice. However, because the mycelium had been harvested three times, it was somewhat lifeless. An extra challenge.

To provide extra support, we made a wooden frame of 230cm high in which we stacked the blocks. On February 12, in the snow, we moved the tower to its current location. The roof material, made by Mily Bogaarts, is made from the plastic in which the blocks were packaged and delivered. Read more about it here.
