The EuroMycel mycelium laboratory is a subsidiary and privileged commercial partner of the International BONDUELLE Group.

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.

According to a recent report, the global mushroom market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2020 to 2027, driven by increasing consumer awareness about the health benefits of mushrooms and the rise in vegan and plant-based diets.

In addition to the growing demand, the mushroom industry has also been benefiting from advancements in technology and sustainable growing practices. For example, some companies are using artificial intelligence to optimize mushroom production and reduce waste, while others are using compostable packaging to reduce their environmental impact.

Kyle Davey is a man with many hats. He's been a sheep farmer, a builder, a beekeeper and the local postman.

Two years ago, he decided he needed a winter off - but with all those skills under his belt, it's no surprise he got bored.

But an idea was sprouting, and by happy coincidence, eventually some pretty fungi turned into a serious horticultural enterprise.

I thought 'I've got to find something to do while I'm at home," Kyle says. "I saw some ready-to-grow bags and got addicted from there." Kyle says he's always been interested in mushrooms and simply got carried away.

He and his wife Cath live up one of New Zealand's longest no-exit road - Waitotara Valley Road in Taranaki. It's where the couple have landed since meeting in Australia where Cath worked as a theatre nurse.

The targets for a mushroom farm are amongst others:

• Meet market requirements
• Good quality at the lowest possible harvesting costs

To meet the market requirements the farm needs about the same amount of mushrooms every day, seven days per week. Maybe a bit more on one day than the other depending on sales. This means generally picking seven days per week.
