Enter your inoculation date and today's date — we'll tell you what's happening in your garden, what to do next, and how much yield to expect.
Mushroom growers in Uganda face the same frustrating experience — and we built this tracker to change that.
Growers buy ready-made mushroom gardens but have no way to know how far along the colonization is. Without visible mycelium, they wait blindly — sometimes weeks longer than necessary.
Some sellers deliver gardens before colonization is complete. The farmer waits and waits, unsure whether the garden has failed or is simply not ready. Trust breaks. Money is wasted.
Even when a garden is healthy, growers aren't sure what to do at each stage — when to open, when to mist, when to harvest, when to give up. Small mistakes cost real yield.
One simple tool that answers the three questions every grower asks.
Our Growth Tracker uses the two dates you already know — when you inoculated and what day it is today — to calculate the exact stage of your mushroom garden.
No sensors. No app to install. No internet beyond loading this page. Just two dates, and clear guidance based on research-backed timelines for oyster mushroom cultivation in Uganda.
See exactly where your garden is — colonization, pinning, first flush, subsequent flushes, or depletion.
Get clear instructions for the current stage — what to do, what NOT to do, and how to avoid common mistakes.
See how much harvest to expect at each stage and when to plan for the next flush.
Learn when a garden has finished its productive life so you can move to your next batch.
Practical gains, immediately.
If your garden is colonizing, you know how many days are left. If it should be fruiting but isn't, you know something is wrong — and can act before losing the crop.
Following the right actions at the right stage — misting at the right time, harvesting at the right moment, resting between flushes — can meaningfully increase total harvest.
Most yield losses come from the same five or six mistakes — opening bags too early, overwatering pins, harvesting too late. The tracker warns you at each stage.
Know exactly when your current garden will finish so you can start the next one in time — keeping production continuous.
Three simple steps. No accounts, no app, no cost.
That's the day your garden was prepared with spawn — the date on your receipt or the day you built it.
Pre-filled to today automatically, but you can change it if you want to check a future date or check a garden for a friend.
Get your stage, what's happening, what to do, what not to do, and expected yield — instantly.
Enter your dates below — we'll take it from there.
Based on research-backed timelines for oyster mushroom cultivation.
