Mushroom bed structure

In a mushroom growing structure comprising a receptacle for holding a bed of compost, said structure including a generally horizontal bottom and generally vertical side walls, the improvement being in a glider on said bottom, said glider being made of an open grid material having a significantly high open area, a net mounted over said glider, said bottom comprising a central section and a side section on each side of said central section, and said central section being made of an open grate.

In a mushroom growing structure of the bed system having a plurality of mushroom bed receptacles for holding compost, each of said receptacles having a generally horizontal bottom and upstanding side walls, said bottom comprising a pair of opposite ends with a central section extending from one of said ends to the other of said ends and with a side section on each side of said central section extending from one of said ends to the other of said ends, the improvement being in that said central section is made of an open grate material in grid form, said side sections being made of an insulative material, the combined width of said side sections being greater than one-half the width of said central section where said open grate material is located, said side walls being made of insulative material, and said central section being substantially free of said insulative material between said side sections.

In a mushroom tray system having a tray receptacle with a generally horizontal bottom and upstanding side walls, said bottom comprising a central section surrounded by a pair of side sections and a pair of intermediate end sections for holding compost, the improvement being in that said central section is made of an open grate material, said side sections and said end sections being made of an insulative material, the combined width of said side sections being greater than one-half the width of said central section where said open grate material is located, said side walls being made of an insulative material, and said central section being substantially free of said insulative material between said side sections.

In a mushroom growing structure comprising a plurality of receptacles for holding a bed of compost, said receptacles being stacked atop each other, each of said receptacles including a generally horizontal bottom and generally vertical side walls, the improvement being in a glider on said bottom, and said glider being made of an open grid material having a significantly high open area, said system being a tray system, each of said receptacles being a mushroom tray having a central section surrounded by a pair of side sections and a pair of end sections, said grate being made of an open grid material, and each of said side sections and said end sections being made of an insulative material.

In a mushroom growing tunnel system comprising an elongated tunnel for holding a bed of compost, said tunnel including a bottom and side walls, the improvement being in a glider on said bottom, said glider being made of an open grid material having a significantly high open area, and a net mounted over said glider.
