Built around the jobs mushroom growers actually do
Follow each batch from inoculation to harvest
Log the inoculation date and species. Target dates for colonization, pinning and harvest fill in from your stage durations, and each batch shows its stage on the Dashboard.
Inoculation dateStage target datesFind out what keeps contaminating your grows
Record the type, the stage it was caught and the suspected cause. The Dashboard turns it into a contamination rate and shows your most common cause.

Enter fresh yield and dry substrate weight. BE %, dry yield and cost per pound work out for every batch, with a leaderboard by species.

Set the batch size and the ingredient and water amounts scale to match, so hydration stays right.

Log readings and each one is flagged against the ideal range for that species.

Before you buy
Is it for hobby growers or commercial growers?
Both. A hobby grower can stick to batches, contamination and substrate recipes. Growers who sell can also use the Sales, Inventory, Expenses and Tax Planner tabs.
Which mushrooms are included?
Oyster varieties, shiitake, lion's mane, reishi, maitake, chestnut and more are preloaded, and you can edit the species list on Settings.
Can I run several species or rooms at once?
Yes. Every batch gets a separate row for species, substrate and stage, and results are split out by species on the Dashboard.
What do I get?
An Excel file (.xlsx), a filled-in sample to look at, and a quick-start PDF guide with a link that makes your own copy in Google Sheets.
How does delivery work?
You get your download links right after checkout, and Stripe emails your receipt. There is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.
How do I set it up in Google Sheets?
Open the quick-start PDF and click the Google Sheets link. Google makes a copy in your own Drive that only you can edit. You need a free Google account.
Will it work on a Mac?
Yes. It works in Excel on Mac and Windows, and in Google Sheets in any browser.
I'm not a spreadsheet person. Is that a problem?
No. You only type in the yellow cells. Everything in gray works itself out, and the Start Here tab shows you where to begin.
Can I get a refund?
Templates are digital downloads, so sales are final. If a file won't open, is broken or doesn't match its description, email hello@cleanpixelstudios.com within 30 days and we'll fix it, or refund you if we can't.
What if I get stuck?
Email hello@cleanpixelstudios.com and we'll help you get it working.
