mushroom farm

Grows edible fungi

A mushroom farm is a facility where edible fungi are cultivated commercially, typically in climate-controlled buildings or caves that maintain the cool, dark, humid conditions mushrooms require.

The term extends to smaller-scale operations: She started a mushroom farm in her basement.

Unlike traditional agriculture, mushroom farming happens indoors on substrates like straw or compost rather than in soil.
