Abstract
An apparatus for the controlled growth and harvesting of mushrooms and other plant material is disclosed comprising a substrate container including a growth surface through which extend a plurality of growth apertures arrayed in a pattern on the growth surface, and an exposure/cutting plate which is slidably mated to the growth surface. More than one growing surface could be used. The apparatus will allow for the significant reduction of labor and other costs associated with the production of mushrooms or other plant crops.
