Mycelial mass with non-electrical carbon dioxide transfer

A plant-growth improvement apparatus comprising:

• mycelial mass,
• a container with an opening and a gaseous exchange portal,
• wherein the mycelial mass is further comprised of:
• mycelia comprising Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail),
• a water and nutrient mixture, and
• a blend of cellulose-based substrate,
• the mycelial mass disposed in the container;
• and
• whereafter the apparatus affects the optimal generation and passive distribution of carbon dioxide to a plant-growth environment via a non-electrical transfer of carbon dioxide to plants from an elevation above the plants.

A method to improve plant growth, comprising:

• selecting a pure strain of Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail);
• culturing a spawn culture from the pure strain;
• mixing water and nutrient additives to create a water and nutrient mixture;
• sterilizing the water and nutrient mixture;
• combining the spawn culture with the water and nutrient mixture in a sterile vessel to form a combination;
• incubating the combination in the sterile vessel;
• placing a blend of cellulose-based substrate in a container with at least one opening and at least one gaseous interchange portal;
• sterilizing the blend of cellulose-based substrate in the container;
• cooling the container of the blend of cellulose-based substrate in a HEPA chamber;
• transferring the combination from the sterile vessel to the container;
• forming a mycelial mass by mixing the combination with the blend of cellulose-based substrate in the container;
• sealing the opening of the container;
• and
• offering the container for placement above an elevation of the plants in an indoor growing environment;
• wherein the mycelial mass produces carbon dioxide, which is released from the container to affect non-electrical transfer of the carbon dioxide, improving the plant growth.
