Mushroom Cultivation

The rapid and unexpected appearance of mushrooms is one of the most amazing phenomena of nature. This phenomenon is directly influenced by the osmotic pressure and the evaporation rate of the growing mycelium fruiting. We constantly work to keep the evaporation rate within the necessary limits, applying appropriate ventilation, ambient temperature and humidity in the growth tunnels.

Waste management

At the end of the cultivation process, the substrate is removed from its plastic cover. The plastic is recyclable and is sent to a recycling company, while the used substrate is left alone to preserve itself naturally. Three to four months later, it's an ideal material for soil improvement in arboriculture or gardening. The electrical or thermal energy used on this crop is insignificant because we intelligently employ the substrate's energy for heating, meanwhile cooling panels are adequate to generate the ideal microclimate in the most ecologically friendly way.

Medicinal Mushrooms

DIRFIS MUSHROOMS was the first to introduce the technology for producing medicinal mushrooms Lentinula edodes to Greece in 2006. Known as "Shiitake" in Japanese, "Xianggu" in Chinese, this particular mushroom has been cultivated in China since 1000 A.D. and exported all over the world.
