Introduction
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Mushrooms are an excellent source of nutritious, they have many different flavours, valuable amino acids,
and fibre and are low in fat. In the vegetarian or vegan kitchen, mushrooms used as a meat substitute due
to their diversity.
In the container farm, you cultivate all year-round organic mushroom. Depending on the mushroom species
we can harvest up to 8 times per year. As a result, we provide the market all year around with fresh organic
mushrooms in a consistent quality. The organic mushroom cultivation provides a promising economic and
biological alternative to the traditional agriculture.
The benefit of our mushroom substrates "Made in Austria" is the highest quality available and in comparison
with other international suppliers, the container farm provides a 20% higher yield and a 50% shorter growing
cycle which results in more frequent harvests.
Due to ongoing R&D and cooperation with our supplier Glückspilze GmbH and the MRCA Mushroom
Research Center Austria and other international renown Universities, we can cultivate in the future bigger
varieties of mushroom in the best organic quality. We develop many new product applications for example
in the pharma and cosmetic industry as a result of our research.

Facts about organic Mushroom cultivation
Mushrooms the Food Source of the Future
In the years ahead agriculture undergoes a major upheaval. Climate change and Increase in extreme
weather phenomena are the challenges for agriculture of Future. The biggest task for the farmers of our
time is to find the answer of how can feed additional three billion people by 2050. In this presentation, we
show how the cultivation of organic mushrooms can provide an alternative solution to these challenges.
By 2050, through climate change and population growth the usable acreage for agriculture is to shrink by -
17%. In addition, the farming income declines further by -17% to the increase of extreme weather
phenomena. In comparison with other agricultural products, the mushroom cultivation provides a multiple
higher yield in annual tons / hectare than vegetable or animal products. The figure below illustrates the
differences.
(Figure: Production agricultural goods in metric tons / hectare / per annum; for red meat and milk the necessary agricultural land use for fodder production was
taken into account)
Mushroom as high-value Protein source
By 2024 the protein consumption per person increases by an average of +16%, while meat consumption
remains approximately equal to today's value, the demand for vegan and vegetarian high protein foods
rises. Mushrooms are with their richly varied
flavors, the valuable amino acids, the fiber and
its low-fat content an excellent source of food.
As protein-rich meat substitute (Average of 20-
30% protein in the Dry matter), mushrooms bring
colorful variety in the vegetarian and vegan
cuisine. In contrast to other vegetable protein
sources such as wheat protein or soy, fungi
protein is very well tolerated by the human body
and can be consumed safely with a gluten
intolerance. Also, fungi protein has, unlike
soybeans with high a high content of
phytoestrogens, no adverse effects on men's
hormone balance.

Mushroom cultivation is Sustainable and conserves Resources
The organic mushrooms offer a sustainable economic, and biologically meaningful alternative or
supplement to traditional agricultural products. The cultivation of mushroom conserve resources as fungi
have a high biological efficiency (per 1 kg substrate dry matter yield up to 1 kg of fresh mushrooms
harvested). Byproducts such as straw or wood (wood chips, sawdust) from other agricultural production
activities used as raw material for the mushroom substrate. The water consumption is when compared with
the meat or milk production minuscule with only 8 liters per 1kg fresh mushrooms. In our closed loop
containerized mushroom production 90% of the water consumed is recycled.
Water consumption during the production cycle per 1kg fresh mushroom harvested
Marketing Opportunities
Through the increase in demand for vegan and vegetarian food, the demand for mushrooms as protein-
rich meat substitute sharply increases in the coming years. Many of our mushrooms species contain a
broad range of vitalizing substances like polysaccharides, triterpenes, vitamins, minerals, etc. While Asia
uses these "medicinal mushrooms" for thousands of years, the rest of the world recognized their potential
only since the boom of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in recent years. Medical Mushrooms
become an additional source of revenue for mushroom farmers and value-added Processing options for
seasonal overproduction. Mushrooms are traditionally pickled or dried preserved, they can be pre-cut and
packaged in portions and frozen (frozen mushrooms enter directly into the hot pan when prepared). Some
fungi species are usable to distil herbal liqueurs and spirits or for the production ointments and creams.
Recycling of spent mushroom substrates
After the final mushroom harvesting the spent substrate remains are a great fertilizer for other crops or can
be used as feed for biogas productions and greywater recovery.
100% organic mushroom cultivation
Substrates (breeding ground) and the spawn (mushroom seed’s) are organic! We only use raw material
from certified organic agriculture, especially from regional suppliers. Other producers use conventional
spawn for organic mushroom cultivation! That is possible due to the EU-organic-regulation only 95 % of the
ingredients (substrate plus spawn) have to be from certified organic agriculture. We are confident that also
the spawn has to be organic to produce a truly holistic, organic product.

Research and Development
We reinvest 15 % of our revenue to support the research activities at the MRCA Mushroom Research
Center in Austria. MRCA explores new growing techniques on mushroom species which were difficult to
cultivate and new mushroom applications in nutrition, medicine, the cleaning of contaminated soils and
waters (mycorestoration, pest control (mycopesticide) and industrial usage (cosmetic). As a result, we can
produce new innovative products that provide a long-term competitive edge for the mushroom farmer, and
we prevent the supersaturation of the market with the same mushroom products and a drop in prices.
Introducing the world of mushroom
For a long time mushroom were add to plants. Nowadays
we know that they are more identical to animals due to
genetical and physiological characteristics than to plants.
The main difference is the fact that mushroom cannot
photosynthesize and build up carbohydrates on their own.
So they need symbiosis with plants to get organic
carbohydrate compounds for energy generation. Thus
mushrooms are counted among desturents in the organic
cycle of substances within an ecosystem. They converte
organic matter to soluble minerals.
Through their food absorption, we categorize fungi into three main groups:
Saprophyte
They break down organic matter like cow dung, waste
wood or straw. In the organic cycle of substances within
an ecosystem, the fungi are the biggest natural recycling
company. Most cultivated mushrooms belong to this
category of fungi's. We should pay attention to the fact that
cultivated mushrooms react differently than their grown
wild counterparts. However, grown in a controlled
environment, they produce a higher yield with an
optimised substrate (mushroom breeding ground). Grown
wild mushrooms have a bigger vegetative part, called
mycelium which is consisting of a mass of branching,
thread-like hyphae but produces only a small amount of
fruiting bodies.

Parasites
Commonly known is that fungi may exist as parasites.
Here, the fungus attacks an still vital organism ("host") and
consumes the energy and nutrients of the host. The most
known are various skin fungi or the Armillaria species.
Worth mentioning, the Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea),
his mycelium reaches out an area of several thousand
Square meters and can achieve a depth of 500 to 800
meters, it is the largest life form on our planet. Cordyceps
is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes
about 400 species. All Cordyceps species are
endoparasitoids, parasitic mainly on insects and other
arthropods (they are thus entomopathogenic fungi); a few
are parasitic on other fungi. The lingzhi mushroom or reishi
mushroom is a species complex that encompasses
several fungal species of the genus Ganoderma, most
commonly the closely related species Ganoderma
lucidum, Ganoderma tsugae, and Ganoderma sichuanense. G. sichuanense enjoys special veneration in
East Asia, where it has been used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine for more than
2,000 years, making it one of the oldest medicinal mushrooms known. Lingzhi listed in the American Herbal
Pharmacopoeia and Therapeutic Compendium. Stropharia rugosoannulata, commonly known as the Wine
Cap stropharia, "garden giant," burgundy mushroom or King stropharia (Japanese: saketsubatake), is an
agaric of the family Strophariaceae found in Europe and North America and introduced to Australia and
New Zealand. Cordyceps militaris is a species of fungus in the family Clavicipitaceae and the type species
of the genus Cordyceps. It was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Clavaria militaris
Symbionts
Some fungi live as symbionts for the mutual Benefit of all
participating systems. The symbiosis of fungi and plants is
called mycorrhiza. The Fungus provides the plant with
minerals and nutrients which the plant itself is not able to
extract and absorb from the soil itself. The fungus
mycelium tight interwoven with the plant roots can store a
greater amount of water -thus the plant can easily survive
dry periods. The plant supplies the fungus in return with
essential Carbohydrates (sugar), produced through its
photosynthesis mechanism.

The mushroom life cycle
Most people associate mushroom
only with the visible fruiting body
above ground. The much larger
part of the Fungal organism (in
mushroom cultivation referred to
as mycelium) is vegetative under
the ground. The fruiting bodies
usually consist of stem, cap, and
gills (gills fungi - for example the
button mushroom) tubes (Boletes -
as Porcini) or pores (Polyporales -
as Reishi). In the gills, tubes or
pores the spores (fungi seeds) are
formed. Once the spores fully
mature, they drop out. If the fungal
spores find an appropriate
breeding ground (soil), they
germinate under the right climatic
conditions (temperature, humidity,
and oxygen level in the air). We
differentiate between positive (+)
and negative (-) polarity spores,
they independently germinate.
Once the two spore germs link, a
new mycelium develops. Under the
right environmental condition, they
form the mycelium Pinheads
(pinhead-sized mini-mushrooms). These mini-mushrooms then grow fully into the fruiting bodies, which in
turn produce spores and the Lifecycle begins anew.
The mushroom cultivation cycle
The techniques and steps in mushroom
cultivation always follow the same pattern,
only the recipe of the substrates and the
climatic conditions during the mycelial growth
and the fruiting will change. The spores initially
germinate in Petri dishes on nutrient media in
a controlled laboratory environment. The best
and most robust mycelium strings are
enhanced by selection, which increases the
yield. The selected mycelium strings are
cultivated on grain spawn and increasingly on
sawdust spawn. The grain spawn or sawdust
spawn is used, once they are fully colonized
by the mushroom mycelium, to inoculate on a
suitable fruiting substrate, which will be fully
occupied by the growing mushroom
mycelium. Once this phase is concluded, then
the fruiting is introduced by changing the
environmental conditions.

Our mushroom products
Our fungal culture collection surpases more than 400 different mushroom spicies. Below the three most
cultivated mushrooms of our assortment, informations on other fungi upon request.
Organic Tree Oyster (Oyster mushroom)
Scientific name: Pleurotus ostreatus
Syn.: Hiratake, Tamogitake, P.ng Gu, Sadafi, Chippikkoon
Suitable for: bale of straw, wood logs or premade Oyster culture
spawed bags for greenhouse and closed loop container farming.
The oyster mushroom is a very easy to grow edible mushroom.
The mycelium of this fungus is very robust, and for that reason
one the most popular cultivated mushrooms. The fruiting bodies
reach a diameter of 5-15 cm. The hat is gray-brown to violet, goes
down toward the gills and the stem where the color is fading into
whitish. Pleurotus is rich in vitamins such as B complex, A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B5 (niacin), B6 and
B7 (biotin). The mushroom contains folic acid and vitamin C and D (calciferol). One quater of the Oyster
mushroom dry matter consists of proteins and contains all essential amino acids, and other important
ingredients of Pleurotus are ß-glucans (Polysaccharides), pleuran and lovastatin.
Organic button mushroom white or brown
Scientific name: Agaricus bisporus
Suitable for: compost substrate in greenhouse and closed loop
container farming.
Button mushroom is an edible mushroom widley cultivated all
over the world. The most important ingredients are protein,
carbohydrates and fibre. Due to the mineral composition the
button mushroom is suitable for many meals in the daily kitchen.
He is also used for weight regulation dishes. The Agaricus
bisporus is the most cultivated mushroom by American farmers
to the tune of $800 million each year, during which the average
American consumes 2.2 pounds of mushrooms! The common grocery store form of Agaricus bisporus is
completely white, but in recent years the mushroom industry has developed brown strains of the species,
which it markets as "crimini" and "portabello" mushrooms (the distinction is simply that the portabellos have
been allowed to mature past the button stage). The distinguishing feature of Agaricus bisporus is microscopic:
unlike other species of Agarius, its basidia bear two spores each, instead of four. The bottom illustration shows
three pairs of spores, still attached to two-pronged basidia.

Organic Shiitake
Scientific name: Lentinula edodes
Suitable for: wood logs, ready culture for greenhouse and closed loop container
farming.
The Shiitake is located in Japan, Korea and China. Long a symbol of longevity in
Asia because of their health-promoting properties, shiitake mushrooms have been
used medicinally by the Chinese for more than 6,000 years. The smell is similar
to garlic and one of the ingredients is due to that named lenthionin. Lentinula
edodes is one of the most popular edible mushroom after Button mushroom. More
recently, their rich, smoky flavor has endeared them to American taste buds. These exotic hearty mushrooms
can now be found in supermarket shelves across the U.S. throughout the year.
Like other mushrooms, these specialty mushrooms are as mysteriously unique as they are delicious. While
often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of
living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds. People do not usually consider including
mushrooms as part of their meals for their nutritional content. However, shiitake mushrooms are rich in B
vitamins—they are an excellent of pantothenic acid, a very good source of vitamin B2, and a good source of
vitamin B6, niacin, choline, and folate. Additionally, they are concentrated in minerals, being an excellent
source of selenium and copper, a very good source of zinc, and a good source of manganese. They are also
a good source of vitamin D (in the D2 form) and dietary fiber. They also provide a wide variety of unique
phytonutrients. To maximize their flavor and the retention of their nutrients it is important to not to overcook
them. That's why we recommend Healthy Sauteeing
shiitake mushrooms for just 7 minutes to bring out their
best flavor while maximizing their nutrient retention. For
more on our Healthiest Way of Cooking shiitake
mushrooms see the How to Enjoy section below.
What is Beneficial about Shiitake Mushrooms
Although immune system support has often received much
of the spotlight in shiitake mushroom research, recent
study results involving support of the cardiovascular
system have caught the attention of many researchers. In
particular, recent studies have shown the ability of shiitake
mushrooms to help protect us against cardiovascular
diseases (including atherosclerosis) by preventing too
much immune cell binding to the lining of our blood vessels. In order for immune cells and other materials to
bind onto our blood vessel linings, certain protein molecules—called adhesion molecules—must be produced
and sent into action. By helping to block the adhesion molecule production process, substances in shiitake
mushrooms can help protect our blood vessels. (The adhesion molecule production that is partially blocked
by shiitake mushroom components includes the adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin.)
Shiitake mushrooms have long been recognized as a very good, non-animal food source of iron. But a recent
preliminary study has determined that the bioavailability of iron from shiitake mushrooms may be even better
than from other sources.

Organic mushroom cultivation in a controlled Environment
Cultivating organic mushrooms in a greenhouse or closed cycle containerized systems allows you to
harvest year-round a consistent quality, depending on the species up to 8 harvests per year are possible.
In the contrary, outdoor cultivation provides mushrooms only intermittently or seasonally.
Substrate for cultivation in greenhouses
Our by selection enhanced „Ready Cultures“ or mycel blocks are used for mushroom cultivation in
greenhouses. These substrates are made of organic raw materials (wood, straw or other herbal raw
materials) and standardized for each mushroom species individually. This guarantees the highest yield and
continues high quality all year around.
Recycling of the spent substrate after harvesting
Methode 1
Until all nutrients are used up the substrate produces fruiting bodies. In the composting process, the soil-
dwelling organisms transform the spent culture within a few months into nutrient-rich plant fertiliser. The
mycel waste is rich in proteins and provides additional nitrogen for plants. From this closed cycle process,
the farmer receives the high-value plant fertiliser for fruits or vegetable cultivation. Spent substrates from
Button Mushroom or Himematsutake can be applied directly without composting to cultivation fields.
Methode 2
Molecular products
Enzymes recovered from spent mushroom substrate after cultivating and harvesting mushrooms –
Applications in food manufacturing (e.g. alpha amylase for beer brewing, proteases used in meat
tenderisers etc.)
Stock feed – fungi-feed
Studies have demonstrated animals (ruminants) fed on a spent mushroom substrate diet are generally
healthier and weigh more than animals fed on conventional diets.

Mushroom greenhouses
Mushrooms need a particular environment with the proper temperature, humidity and sufficient oxygen to
grow. In a closed environment, also, the optimum air circulation within the and the specific light
requirements are equally important. The particular created and constant environment set up for each
mushroom species guarantees the high crop yield and quality of the harvested mushrooms. Our closed
cycle food computer is specifically designed to these to create the particular environment for a broad range
of mushroom species and other crops.
Our mushroom cultivation platform is modular built, with a minimum size of 100 m² per farm. This farm size
has proven to be viable economically. The on following pages described our "Mushroom cultivation system
of 108 m² & 360 m² with a minimum investment from approx. € 60,000. Depending on the mushroom
species cultivated, the 108 m² farm yields eight harvests per year from 8,000 to 16,000 kg of fresh
mushrooms.
To minimize the initial investment, adapted existing buildings, stables, barns and similar possibly reduce
construction cost of the mushroom cultivation farm. The actual investment is highly dependent on the local
conditions and the required permits, equipment, machinery, and additional modules and will be specified
only during the detailed planning of a project.

• Module construction including installation of the shelving system: 4.900,00 € per module
• Installation and activation air conditioning system: 1.495,00 €
• Project planing, construction supervisor / manager (expert in mycology): 150,00 € per hour.
Construction work - Foundation
For foundation we use conventional concrete, we recommend a vapor barrier, and for everything else
depends on the local conditions (for example a high ground water level). We advise you to build a down
gradient of three cm per meter from the length side to the center, which ends in a linear effluent drainage.
For the bottom surface of the module, we recommend a washable Epoxy resin coating.

The module is designed for climate conditions in Central Europe but is modifiable for climates in other parts
of the world. Corresponding isolation arranges a low energy consumption. The outer shell made of a
multilayer foil primarily designed for mushroom cultivation. This layer with a 60 cm thick isolation for thermal
isolation (Lambda value: 0,039W/mK). The material used for the outer shell and insulation does not cause
any skin irritation or respiratory problems and will not decompose over time and is not affected by mold and
rotting. The roof structure and sidewalls strengthened with 100 mm thick Sandwich-panels.
Material cost for the outer shell and isolation is included
Shelving system
The shelving construction of is made from special designed
galvanized steel and organized in two rack rows with four
levels each one 1,5m wide and 9 m long with a total of 108 m

FANCOM Mushroom cultivation climate control system
The mushroom cultivation climate control system
establishes for each mushroom species the required
climate for maximum yield and product quality.
Temperature, humidity, CO2- concentration / fresh air
exchange are 24/7 measured and if there are any
differences to the pre-programmed parameters the
heating/cooling system and humidifier system are
activated automatically.
The from FANCOM designed climate control system
consists of a ventilation system, cooling register, heat
register, an air exchange system, circulation fans,
separate fans or fresh air exchange, blinds with
servomotors, air channels, standard filters. On request
and for a surcharge, electrostatic filters and assembly
material is available. Due to an "air to air heat pump" the
heating and cooling system operates more efficiently. This "air to air heat pump" produces warmth or
coldness as needed.

Energy – supply and consumption
The power rating per mushroom cultivation module: 380 V – 108 A, 45kW. The average energy
consumption per day is 135 kWh (depending on location and season). The power consumption is calculated
for button mushroom cultivation, and for other species, this can differ. Furthermore, the module requires a
drinking water connection (1/2 inch water hose) and a wastewater drainage.
Wastewater recycling system
• reduces water consumption and recycles up 90% of the used water
Material cost: upon request €
Offgrid Power Solution
• Solar PV with battery storage / Biogas hybrid power production in rural areas
Material cost: upon request €
Construction costs mushroom cultivation module
The installation time and cost depends on local conditions and the actual equipment for the module (usually
10 to 14 working days with grew of 5 trained people). As a benchmark we calculate with the following cost
factors:
• Module construction including installation of the shelving system: upon request €
• Installation and activation air conditioning system: upon request €
• Project planing, construction supervisor / manager (expert in mycology): 150,00 € per hour.
Construction work - Foundation
For foundation we use conventional concrete, we
recommend a vapor barrier, and for everything else
depends on the local conditions (for example a high ground
water level). We advise you to build a down gradient of
three cm per meter from the length side to the center, which
ends in a linear effluent drainage. For the bottom surface
of the module, we recommend a washable Epoxy resin
coating.

About Glückspilze GmbH
Our inspiration comes from the tiniest mushroom spores
Vision: to enrich our daily food consumption with a vast array of organically cultivated highly nutritional
medical and gourmet mushrooms. To achieve this goal, we established a professional state of the art
mushroom cultivation facility in Austria.
The basic fundamental fungi research at the MRCA Labs in Austria is the basis for our pioneering
cultivational and exploratory development. We became partners of the Leopold-Franzens University
Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria and our research in microbiology, pharmacology and botanicals have been
internationally recognized and shared.
Our mushroom knowledge
Since 1997, we conducted studies abroad and collect
know-how from international universities and
agricultural nurseries. As a result, we have now a
remarkable and comprehensive collection of mycelium
cultures. With our R&D knowledge of 15-year on the
fungal organism and the development of our 800
square meters’ mushroom cultivation laboratory, we
were able to establish the Mushroom Research Center
Austria as a respected international institution and
became the largest supplier of mushroom cultivation
equipment and organic mushroom substrates in
Central Europe.

About MRCA Mushroom Research Center Austria
The MRCA Mushroom Research Center Austria is the
only organization dedicated to the fungi research and
cultivation in Austria and Central Europe. The MRCA
shares the during international joint research projects
and the training of interns accumulated know-how in
agriculture, microbiology, pharmacology and botany with
universities and other research institutions in this
academic fields.
Approach, research objectives
Mushrooms are among the oldest life forms on our planet, and yet we know so little about them in our
period. That was not always the case, during the Middle Ages, we were far more aware of the many types
of fungi and had much more experienced with their use and effects, comparable to Asia. Humanity lost that
knowledge throughout the centuries.
The MRCA Mushroom Research Center Austria, therefore, carries out basic research as well as the
extensive and exemplary cultivation of food and medicinal mushrooms together with renowned international
universities and institutes to systematically explore the world of mushrooms again. That is in response to
the growing worldwide interest in mushrooms as a
valuable source of nutrition, alternative remedies and
as raw material for pharmaceutical supplements and
the Western medicine.
Vision
The aim is to explore the potential uses of fungi for
food, medicine, cleaning of soil and water
(Mykorestauration), pesticides (Mycopesticide) and
the industrial use, for example in cosmetics or
supplements.
Research and development guarantees
Value for the benefit of all!

  • 2. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 2 Introduction Ladies and Gentlemen, Mushrooms are an excellent source of nutritious, they have many different flavours, valuable amino acids, and fibre and are low in fat. In the vegetarian or vegan kitchen, mushrooms used as a meat substitute due to their diversity. In the container farm, you cultivate all year-round organic mushroom. Depending on the mushroom species we can harvest up to 8 times per year. As a result, we provide the market all year around with fresh organic mushrooms in a consistent quality. The organic mushroom cultivation provides a promising economic and biological alternative to the traditional agriculture. The benefit of our mushroom substrates "Made in Austria" is the highest quality available and in comparison with other international suppliers, the container farm provides a 20% higher yield and a 50% shorter growing cycle which results in more frequent harvests. Due to ongoing R&D and cooperation with our supplier Glückspilze GmbH and the MRCA Mushroom Research Center Austria and other international renown Universities, we can cultivate in the future bigger varieties of mushroom in the best organic quality. We develop many new product applications for example in the pharma and cosmetic industry as a result of our research. Karl Georg Neubacher, MD E-Mail: karl@sesresources.co
  • 3. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 3 Facts about organic Mushroom cultivation Mushrooms the Food Source of the Future In the years ahead agriculture undergoes a major upheaval. Climate change and Increase in extreme weather phenomena are the challenges for agriculture of Future. The biggest task for the farmers of our time is to find the answer of how can feed additional three billion people by 2050. In this presentation, we show how the cultivation of organic mushrooms can provide an alternative solution to these challenges. By 2050, through climate change and population growth the usable acreage for agriculture is to shrink by - 17%. In addition, the farming income declines further by -17% to the increase of extreme weather phenomena. In comparison with other agricultural products, the mushroom cultivation provides a multiple higher yield in annual tons / hectare than vegetable or animal products. The figure below illustrates the differences. (Figure: Production agricultural goods in metric tons / hectare / per annum; for red meat and milk the necessary agricultural land use for fodder production was taken into account) Mushroom as high-value Protein source By 2024 the protein consumption per person increases by an average of +16%, while meat consumption remains approximately equal to today's value, the demand for vegan and vegetarian high protein foods rises. Mushrooms are with their richly varied flavors, the valuable amino acids, the fiber and its low-fat content an excellent source of food. As protein-rich meat substitute (Average of 20- 30% protein in the Dry matter), mushrooms bring colorful variety in the vegetarian and vegan cuisine. In contrast to other vegetable protein sources such as wheat protein or soy, fungi protein is very well tolerated by the human body and can be consumed safely with a gluten intolerance. Also, fungi protein has, unlike soybeans with high a high content of phytoestrogens, no adverse effects on men's hormone balance. Source: Nelson et. al. (2014); FAO 2016 "Climate change and food security" Agricultural Outlook 2015-2024 from OECD and FAO. Figure: Protein content in % of food source.
  • 4. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 4 Mushroom cultivation is Sustainable and conserves Resources The organic mushrooms offer a sustainable economic, and biologically meaningful alternative or supplement to traditional agricultural products. The cultivation of mushroom conserve resources as fungi have a high biological efficiency (per 1 kg substrate dry matter yield up to 1 kg of fresh mushrooms harvested). Byproducts such as straw or wood (wood chips, sawdust) from other agricultural production activities used as raw material for the mushroom substrate. The water consumption is when compared with the meat or milk production minuscule with only 8 liters per 1kg fresh mushrooms. In our closed loop containerized mushroom production 90% of the water consumed is recycled. Water consumption during the production cycle per 1kg fresh mushroom harvested Marketing Opportunities Through the increase in demand for vegan and vegetarian food, the demand for mushrooms as protein- rich meat substitute sharply increases in the coming years. Many of our mushrooms species contain a broad range of vitalizing substances like polysaccharides, triterpenes, vitamins, minerals, etc. While Asia uses these "medicinal mushrooms" for thousands of years, the rest of the world recognized their potential only since the boom of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in recent years. Medical Mushrooms become an additional source of revenue for mushroom farmers and value-added Processing options for seasonal overproduction. Mushrooms are traditionally pickled or dried preserved, they can be pre-cut and packaged in portions and frozen (frozen mushrooms enter directly into the hot pan when prepared). Some fungi species are usable to distil herbal liqueurs and spirits or for the production ointments and creams. Recycling of spent mushroom substrates After the final mushroom harvesting the spent substrate remains are a great fertilizer for other crops or can be used as feed for biogas productions and greywater recovery. 100% organic mushroom cultivation Substrates (breeding ground) and the spawn (mushroom seed’s) are organic! We only use raw material from certified organic agriculture, especially from regional suppliers. Other producers use conventional spawn for organic mushroom cultivation! That is possible due to the EU-organic-regulation only 95 % of the ingredients (substrate plus spawn) have to be from certified organic agriculture. We are confident that also the spawn has to be organic to produce a truly holistic, organic product.
  • 5. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 5 Research and Development We reinvest 15 % of our revenue to support the research activities at the MRCA Mushroom Research Center in Austria. MRCA explores new growing techniques on mushroom species which were difficult to cultivate and new mushroom applications in nutrition, medicine, the cleaning of contaminated soils and waters (mycorestoration, pest control (mycopesticide) and industrial usage (cosmetic). As a result, we can produce new innovative products that provide a long-term competitive edge for the mushroom farmer, and we prevent the supersaturation of the market with the same mushroom products and a drop in prices. Introducing the world of mushroom For a long time mushroom were add to plants. Nowadays we know that they are more identical to animals due to genetical and physiological characteristics than to plants. The main difference is the fact that mushroom cannot photosynthesize and build up carbohydrates on their own. So they need symbiosis with plants to get organic carbohydrate compounds for energy generation. Thus mushrooms are counted among desturents in the organic cycle of substances within an ecosystem. They converte organic matter to soluble minerals. Through their food absorption, we categorize fungi into three main groups: Saprophyte They break down organic matter like cow dung, waste wood or straw. In the organic cycle of substances within an ecosystem, the fungi are the biggest natural recycling company. Most cultivated mushrooms belong to this category of fungi's. We should pay attention to the fact that cultivated mushrooms react differently than their grown wild counterparts. However, grown in a controlled environment, they produce a higher yield with an optimised substrate (mushroom breeding ground). Grown wild mushrooms have a bigger vegetative part, called mycelium which is consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae but produces only a small amount of fruiting bodies.

  • 6. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 6 Parasites Commonly known is that fungi may exist as parasites. Here, the fungus attacks an still vital organism ("host") and consumes the energy and nutrients of the host. The most known are various skin fungi or the Armillaria species. Worth mentioning, the Honey Fungus (Armillaria mellea), his mycelium reaches out an area of several thousand Square meters and can achieve a depth of 500 to 800 meters, it is the largest life form on our planet. Cordyceps is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes about 400 species. All Cordyceps species are endoparasitoids, parasitic mainly on insects and other arthropods (they are thus entomopathogenic fungi); a few are parasitic on other fungi. The lingzhi mushroom or reishi mushroom is a species complex that encompasses several fungal species of the genus Ganoderma, most commonly the closely related species Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma tsugae, and Ganoderma sichuanense. G. sichuanense enjoys special veneration in East Asia, where it has been used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years, making it one of the oldest medicinal mushrooms known. Lingzhi listed in the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia and Therapeutic Compendium. Stropharia rugosoannulata, commonly known as the Wine Cap stropharia, "garden giant," burgundy mushroom or King stropharia (Japanese: saketsubatake), is an agaric of the family Strophariaceae found in Europe and North America and introduced to Australia and New Zealand. Cordyceps militaris is a species of fungus in the family Clavicipitaceae and the type species of the genus Cordyceps. It was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Clavaria militaris Symbionts Some fungi live as symbionts for the mutual Benefit of all participating systems. The symbiosis of fungi and plants is called mycorrhiza. The Fungus provides the plant with minerals and nutrients which the plant itself is not able to extract and absorb from the soil itself. The fungus mycelium tight interwoven with the plant roots can store a greater amount of water -thus the plant can easily survive dry periods. The plant supplies the fungus in return with essential Carbohydrates (sugar), produced through its photosynthesis mechanism.

  • 7. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 7 The mushroom life cycle Most people associate mushroom only with the visible fruiting body above ground. The much larger part of the Fungal organism (in mushroom cultivation referred to as mycelium) is vegetative under the ground. The fruiting bodies usually consist of stem, cap, and gills (gills fungi - for example the button mushroom) tubes (Boletes - as Porcini) or pores (Polyporales - as Reishi). In the gills, tubes or pores the spores (fungi seeds) are formed. Once the spores fully mature, they drop out. If the fungal spores find an appropriate breeding ground (soil), they germinate under the right climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, and oxygen level in the air). We differentiate between positive (+) and negative (-) polarity spores, they independently germinate. Once the two spore germs link, a new mycelium develops. Under the right environmental condition, they form the mycelium Pinheads (pinhead-sized mini-mushrooms). These mini-mushrooms then grow fully into the fruiting bodies, which in turn produce spores and the Lifecycle begins anew. The mushroom cultivation cycle The techniques and steps in mushroom cultivation always follow the same pattern, only the recipe of the substrates and the climatic conditions during the mycelial growth and the fruiting will change. The spores initially germinate in Petri dishes on nutrient media in a controlled laboratory environment. The best and most robust mycelium strings are enhanced by selection, which increases the yield. The selected mycelium strings are cultivated on grain spawn and increasingly on sawdust spawn. The grain spawn or sawdust spawn is used, once they are fully colonized by the mushroom mycelium, to inoculate on a suitable fruiting substrate, which will be fully occupied by the growing mushroom mycelium. Once this phase is concluded, then the fruiting is introduced by changing the environmental conditions.
  • 8. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 8 Our mushroom products Our fungal culture collection surpases more than 400 different mushroom spicies. Below the three most cultivated mushrooms of our assortment, informations on other fungi upon request. Organic Tree Oyster (Oyster mushroom) Scientific name: Pleurotus ostreatus Syn.: Hiratake, Tamogitake, P.ng Gu, Sadafi, Chippikkoon Suitable for: bale of straw, wood logs or premade Oyster culture spawed bags for greenhouse and closed loop container farming. The oyster mushroom is a very easy to grow edible mushroom. The mycelium of this fungus is very robust, and for that reason one the most popular cultivated mushrooms. The fruiting bodies reach a diameter of 5-15 cm. The hat is gray-brown to violet, goes down toward the gills and the stem where the color is fading into whitish. Pleurotus is rich in vitamins such as B complex, A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B5 (niacin), B6 and B7 (biotin). The mushroom contains folic acid and vitamin C and D (calciferol). One quater of the Oyster mushroom dry matter consists of proteins and contains all essential amino acids, and other important ingredients of Pleurotus are ß-glucans (Polysaccharides), pleuran and lovastatin. Organic button mushroom white or brown Scientific name: Agaricus bisporus Suitable for: compost substrate in greenhouse and closed loop container farming. Button mushroom is an edible mushroom widley cultivated all over the world. The most important ingredients are protein, carbohydrates and fibre. Due to the mineral composition the button mushroom is suitable for many meals in the daily kitchen. He is also used for weight regulation dishes. The Agaricus bisporus is the most cultivated mushroom by American farmers to the tune of $800 million each year, during which the average American consumes 2.2 pounds of mushrooms! The common grocery store form of Agaricus bisporus is completely white, but in recent years the mushroom industry has developed brown strains of the species, which it markets as "crimini" and "portabello" mushrooms (the distinction is simply that the portabellos have been allowed to mature past the button stage). The distinguishing feature of Agaricus bisporus is microscopic: unlike other species of Agarius, its basidia bear two spores each, instead of four. The bottom illustration shows three pairs of spores, still attached to two-pronged basidia.
  • 9. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 9 Organic Shiitake Scientific name: Lentinula edodes Suitable for: wood logs, ready culture for greenhouse and closed loop container farming. The Shiitake is located in Japan, Korea and China. Long a symbol of longevity in Asia because of their health-promoting properties, shiitake mushrooms have been used medicinally by the Chinese for more than 6,000 years. The smell is similar to garlic and one of the ingredients is due to that named lenthionin. Lentinula edodes is one of the most popular edible mushroom after Button mushroom. More recently, their rich, smoky flavor has endeared them to American taste buds. These exotic hearty mushrooms can now be found in supermarket shelves across the U.S. throughout the year. Like other mushrooms, these specialty mushrooms are as mysteriously unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds. People do not usually consider including mushrooms as part of their meals for their nutritional content. However, shiitake mushrooms are rich in B vitamins—they are an excellent of pantothenic acid, a very good source of vitamin B2, and a good source of vitamin B6, niacin, choline, and folate. Additionally, they are concentrated in minerals, being an excellent source of selenium and copper, a very good source of zinc, and a good source of manganese. They are also a good source of vitamin D (in the D2 form) and dietary fiber. They also provide a wide variety of unique phytonutrients. To maximize their flavor and the retention of their nutrients it is important to not to overcook them. That's why we recommend Healthy Sauteeing shiitake mushrooms for just 7 minutes to bring out their best flavor while maximizing their nutrient retention. For more on our Healthiest Way of Cooking shiitake mushrooms see the How to Enjoy section below. What is Beneficial about Shiitake Mushrooms Although immune system support has often received much of the spotlight in shiitake mushroom research, recent study results involving support of the cardiovascular system have caught the attention of many researchers. In particular, recent studies have shown the ability of shiitake mushrooms to help protect us against cardiovascular diseases (including atherosclerosis) by preventing too much immune cell binding to the lining of our blood vessels. In order for immune cells and other materials to bind onto our blood vessel linings, certain protein molecules—called adhesion molecules—must be produced and sent into action. By helping to block the adhesion molecule production process, substances in shiitake mushrooms can help protect our blood vessels. (The adhesion molecule production that is partially blocked by shiitake mushroom components includes the adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin.) Shiitake mushrooms have long been recognized as a very good, non-animal food source of iron. But a recent preliminary study has determined that the bioavailability of iron from shiitake mushrooms may be even better than from other sources. Price for mushroom spawn and ready culture for organic cultivation Mushroom spawn („seeds“ for mushroom) and substrate form the basis for every farmer to cultivate edible and vital mushroom. The production of spawn and substrate takes place in best organic quality in pure culture and is produced to 100 % in Austria. If you want to buy spawn or ready culture please calculate with 3 to 4 weeks, because everything you order is absolutely fresh produced! The spawn and ready cultures are certificated for organic mushroom cultivation according to EU VO 834/2007 und 889/2008 (Leading organic certification: AT-BIO-701, BIKO Tirol)

  • 12. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 12 Organic mushroom cultivation in a controlled Environment Cultivating organic mushrooms in a greenhouse or closed cycle containerized systems allows you to harvest year-round a consistent quality, depending on the species up to 8 harvests per year are possible. In the contrary, outdoor cultivation provides mushrooms only intermittently or seasonally. Substrate for cultivation in greenhouses Our by selection enhanced „Ready Cultures“ or mycel blocks are used for mushroom cultivation in greenhouses. These substrates are made of organic raw materials (wood, straw or other herbal raw materials) and standardized for each mushroom species individually. This guarantees the highest yield and continues high quality all year around. Recycling of the spent substrate after harvesting Methode 1 Until all nutrients are used up the substrate produces fruiting bodies. In the composting process, the soil- dwelling organisms transform the spent culture within a few months into nutrient-rich plant fertiliser. The mycel waste is rich in proteins and provides additional nitrogen for plants. From this closed cycle process, the farmer receives the high-value plant fertiliser for fruits or vegetable cultivation. Spent substrates from Button Mushroom or Himematsutake can be applied directly without composting to cultivation fields. Methode 2 Molecular products Enzymes recovered from spent mushroom substrate after cultivating and harvesting mushrooms – Applications in food manufacturing (e.g. alpha amylase for beer brewing, proteases used in meat tenderisers etc.) Stock feed – fungi-feed Studies have demonstrated animals (ruminants) fed on a spent mushroom substrate diet are generally healthier and weigh more than animals fed on conventional diets. Methode 3 Anaerobic digestion of Spent substrate Biomass waste for Biogas production EKO GEA provides a simple, economical biological solution to convert biomass to usable energy. • Boosts metabolic digestion process. • Boosts methane production volumes by 30% + • Reduces BOD & COD • Eliminates odors • Dramatically reduces H₂S hydrogen sulfide and NH₃ ammonia • Boosts overall energy balance of the mushroom farm
  • 13. www.sesresources.co Sustainable Container Farm for Mushroom Production 13 Mushroom greenhouses Mushrooms need a particular environment with the proper temperature, humidity and sufficient oxygen to grow. In a closed environment, also, the optimum air circulation within the and the specific light requirements are equally important. The particular created and constant environment set up for each mushroom species guarantees the high crop yield and quality of the harvested mushrooms. Our closed cycle food computer is specifically designed to these to create the particular environment for a broad range of mushroom species and other crops. Our mushroom cultivation platform is modular built, with a minimum size of 100 m² per farm. This farm size has proven to be viable economically. The on following pages described our "Mushroom cultivation system of 108 m² & 360 m² with a minimum investment from approx. € 60,000. Depending on the mushroom species cultivated, the 108 m² farm yields eight harvests per year from 8,000 to 16,000 kg of fresh mushrooms. To minimize the initial investment, adapted existing buildings, stables, barns and similar possibly reduce construction cost of the mushroom cultivation farm. The actual investment is highly dependent on the local conditions and the required permits, equipment, machinery, and additional modules and will be specified only during the detailed planning of a project.

The MRCA shares the during international joint research projects and the training of interns accumulated know-how in agriculture, microbiology, pharmacology and botany with universities and other research institutions in this academic fields. Approach, research objectives Mushrooms are among the oldest life forms on our planet, and yet we know so little about them in our period. That was not always the case, during the Middle Ages, we were far more aware of the many types of fungi and had much more experienced with their use and effects, comparable to Asia. Humanity lost that knowledge throughout the centuries. The MRCA Mushroom Research Center Austria, therefore, carries out basic research as well as the extensive and exemplary cultivation of food and medicinal mushrooms together with renowned international universities and institutes to systematically explore the world of mushrooms again. That is in response to the growing worldwide interest in mushrooms as a valuable source of nutrition, alternative remedies and as raw material for pharmaceutical supplements and the Western medicine. Vision The aim is to explore the potential uses of fungi for food, medicine, cleaning of soil and water (Mykorestauration), pesticides (Mycopesticide) and the industrial use, for example in cosmetics or supplements. Research and development guarantees Value for the benefit of all!
