The development of an innovative design allowed shrooms online him to gain high- quality products at low costs, from the use of automated outfit that uses solar energy. It wasco-financed by the Innóvate Perú Program of the Ministry of Product.

Comestible mushrooms are decreasingly needed in sightseer areas similar as the Cusco region, where foreign callers consume them due to their high nutritive parcels.This explains why there's a partiality for this type of crop in Peru." Piecemeal from being considered a functional food, this natural product can be grown in different agrarian remainders without important problem," said biologist Diego Armando Espinoza Díaz.

The civilization of the oyster mushroom, (one of the most capitalized comestible mushrooms) is carried out in an artisanal way, for which they use residue inputs from agrarian exertion similar as sludge chala, cereal straw, among others."The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), for illustration, has a strain that's veritably adaptable to different altitude situations in the country,"he added.

Technology and solar energy

Presently, mushroom seed has a high cost, since its medication requires product time, precious outfit, acceptable structure and trained professionals. Faced with this script, the Cusco- grounded company Fungi Perú launched the design" Carrying seed (inoculum) of comestible mushrooms (oyster and mushroom), of good quality, in lower time and at lower cost, through automated outfit with solar energy", which was supported by the Innóvate Peru Program of the Ministry of Product.

The purpose of this offer was to produce comestible mushroom seeds, specifically oyster mushrooms and mushrooms, of good quality and, over all, cheap, using renewable energy with automated outfit, said design director Diego Espinoza and representative of the forenamed company.

To date, Fungi Peru produces seeds of the main comestible mushrooms cultivated nationwide, similar as oyster mushrooms in their different kinds, pink mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms and other mushrooms of marketable interest. These seeds are retailed in Cusco, Ancash, Arequipa, Lima and some other regions.

Together with my platoon of technicians and professionals, we're committed to producing high- quality mushroom seeds, at a lower cost, in lower time than what's typically needed to produce it, with the relinquishment of technologies that are used during the product process,” he specified.

This company from Cusco has a homogenizer and a sterilizer, whose design and operation were modified. “ This outfit is characterized by having an electromechanical medium that allows the product to move back and forth, while it's hotted by an electrical system attached to its face,” he refocused out.

This prototype works with a photovoltaic energy system, through solar panels with an energy consumption of 14 amps. “ The machine also has a temperature and pressure detector for its electronic robotization; it also has a safety stopcock against redundant pressure”, he detailed.

Automated process

Diego Espinoza indicated that the process for the product of mushroom seeds includes a series of inputs and complements that go through programmed heating and sterilization processes. After homogenizing and altering the product, it's invested with the asked strain of fungus, also the inoculum attained goes to the incubation chamber, where thermal and electrical panels are installed on the walls, which are regulated by pyrometers and work with energy. photovoltaics,” he added.

An electronic CO2 detector was also installed inside the chamber to automate its attention within this space, the specialist ended up explaining, whose innovative design gives him satisfaction and, over all, lesser demand from his suppliers.
