I have been thinking of using cargo containers as makeshift mushroom farms by installing a solar powered HVAC system and hydronics

Just something basic like oyster mushrooms.

Would be a pretty good time.
Just gotta have really good circulation.

You will almost never regret buying a shipping container if its cheap. I got one for like 4 grand and it is one of my top all time purchases. I would live in a fortress made of shipping containers if I had my way.

How do you guys deal with energy loss in the system?
They need fresh air so obviously you vent to the outside and then replace the lost air by sucking in new air. However if there is a large temperature difference you need to heat/cool the fresh air. As an added problem there will be a huge dampness loss and you have to rehumidify the new air.

So what can i do to avoid this energy trap? Obv a heat exchanger would be viable but imo they are only viable after a certain size of growroom. And venting towards the inside is also possible but i would like to avoid that for health and smell reasons.

Thaughts?

Lions mane is my fav but i also like oyster for mass and would like to forage and cultivate some "exotic" ones for variety.

It's been years since my last monotub grow. I've been successful with some beginner varieties, while not so much with the expert sorts.
Growing mushrooms is tricky.

it sounds too good to be true, doesn't it rust or something?

looks good.
theyre complicated all the way up until you find yourself suddenly overflowing with too many of them.

Is plugging logs in a shady part of my lawn sufficient to get started with this? Wondering what to do with all the dead trees.
