Abstract: An experimental mushroom ventilation system was designed, constructed and installed in a standard bed mushroom house for evaluation. The unit provided forced air during the three parts of mushroom production (1) Phase II of composting, (2) spawn run, and (3) growing. A proportional control system was used on temperature to provide proper conversion of nutrients during Phase II of composting. High efficiency filters were employed for disease control purposes. Air was distributed in the house by means of a central aluminium duct located above the center walkway. Results indicated that the proportional control system provided adequate environmental control of temperature during Phase II of composting and excellent air distribution was obtained within the house.
