Mushroom growing
chamber controller
Mushrooms need one climate to colonise and another to fruit. The RD150 holds temperature and humidity for each phase and moves between them on a timer, integrated with the heaters, humidifiers and foggers in your growing room.
THE PROBLEM
High humidity, changing phases and a crop that reacts within hours
A mushroom room spends weeks in spawn run, then needs a change in conditions to trigger pinning, then holds a fruiting climate through several flushes. Humidity is usually kept very high, which is hard on equipment and easy to lose when a humidifier runs dry or a door is left open.
Many small and mid-size farms run this with a thermostat, a humidistat and a timer from different suppliers. When the crop shows dry caps or wet blotch, there is no record of what the room actually did overnight.
HOW WE SET IT UP
A climate for each growing phase
Spawn run and fruiting as recipes
Each growing phase is stored as a recipe with its own temperature, humidity and duration. The RD150 moves the room from one phase to the next on its timer, with the option for the grower to step in.
Integrated with your actuators
We integrate the RD150 with the heating and humidity-control actuators in the room, such as heaters, humidifiers or foggers, and set the outputs to suit their ratings.
Fresh air and CO2 on their own loop
Mushrooms are sensitive to CO2 and need fresh air exchange, especially at pinning. Ventilation and CO2 are designed as their own control loop, and we coordinate it with the RD150 phases so the room follows one plan.
Room data on the phone
Connected RD150 units send temperature, humidity and phase time to RIOD Live, so the grower sees every room remotely and can review what happened before a problem flush.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
What should a mushroom growing chamber controller control?
A mushroom chamber controller should hold temperature and humidity and change them by phase, from spawn run to fruiting. Fresh air and CO2 are also important for most species. The RD150 handles temperature, humidity and phase timing, and ventilation and CO2 are designed as a coordinated loop.
Can the controller switch automatically from spawn run to fruiting conditions?
Yes. Each phase is a stored recipe with its own temperature, humidity and duration, and the RD150 moves between them on its timer. The grower can still adjust or hold a phase when the crop needs it.
Can I monitor several mushroom rooms remotely?
Yes. Each connected RD150 reports to RIOD Live or your own server, so all rooms appear in one view with their conditions and phase. Data can be exported as PDF or Excel.
Which humidifiers can it work with?
We integrate the RD150 with the heating and humidity actuators you have or plan to install, such as ultrasonic humidifiers or foggers. Output ratings are matched to the equipment during the design.
