Gone are the days of worrying about varying bed heights. Our system's casing separator can be easily adjusted to accommodate your specific requirements. Whether you have 10 meters or 25 meters of growing net on your emptying winch, the casing separator functions flawlessly, ensuring consistent separation at the desired height.

We understand that efficiency and precision are paramount in the agricultural industry, and the Casing Separator is meticulously engineered with these principles in mind. Our goal is to simplify your operations, enhance productivity, and save you valuable time and effort.

Since 1960, EuroMycel has successively been the historical spawn maker subsidiary of the Guilbaud Group, then of France Champignon, and today of the Bonduelle Group.

During all these years, EuroMycel has developed impressive expertise and a "certain know-how" associated with a collection of unique strains. Its international adventure began in 2000 while remaining a supplier to its parent company.

EuroMycel bases its development on its own approach, namely that the genetics of Agaricus bisporus is certainly not the limiting factor of biotransformation.

The highly specialized EuroMycel mushroom spawn fulfills the expectations of fresh and mechanical harvest growers. Our selection process is unique because the master cultures are sorted according to their specific interaction with compost.

We supply millions of liters of spawn to the Polish, French, North European, Chinese, Hungarian, Israeli, and Indian markets, with strains grown on the best possible medium for the genetic expression of our strains: rye.

Our flagship varieties are the E58 Premium (E58 P) and the E21. The variety E58 P is one of the most popular white bud mushroom strains worldwide and the E21 is a highly productive, smooth, white, hybrid strain, ideal for the canning industry.

The mushroom industry has been one of the few bright spots in the food industry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With more people cooking at home and looking for healthy food options, the demand for mushrooms has surged.
