Founded by product inventor Jared Steele, Terrashroom is an innovative, app-controlled grow chamber designed to make mushroom cultivation accessible to beginners and experts alike.
Steele’s passion for mushroom growing started modestly, with a DIY setup of plastic tubs in his apartment closet. As he experimented with home decor elements like bell jars and LED lights, Steele was inspired to create a more sophisticated, user-friendly solution for mushroom cultivation.
Drawing on his background as a sales director, Steele set out to develop a product that could take the guesswork out of growing mushrooms. The result was the Terrashroom – an intelligent, climate-controlled grow chamber capable of harvesting abundant, high-quality mushrooms in as little as 30 days, even for those with no prior experience.
At the core of the Terrashroom is a commitment to simplicity. The grow chamber’s four-step setup process is as easy as using a microwave, guided by a companion smartphone app. Users simply select their desired mushroom variety, add water, and set the grow settings – the Terrashroom handles the rest.
The device’s advanced features include smart sensors, a built-in timelapse camera, customizable LED lighting, and remote environment controls. This allows users to monitor their grow progress and make real-time adjustments, even when away from home, thanks to the Terrashroom’s Wi-Fi connectivity.
Catering to a wide range of mushroom enthusiasts, the Terrashroom is compatible with a variety of pre-inoculated “ready-to-grow” mushroom cakes, including popular varieties like reishi, lion’s mane, and shiitake. For more adventurous growers, the device also accommodates blank, pre-sterilized cakes that can be inoculated with the user’s choice of mushroom spores.
Beyond just mushrooms, the Terrashroom’s versatility extends to cultivating microgreens, small orchids, moss, ferns, and even carnivorous plants – making it a multipurpose tool for home horticulturists.
Jared Steele’s journey with Terrashroom has evolved from a humble DIY project in his apartment to a cutting-edge solution poised to revolutionize the world of home cultivation. With a focus on simplicity, customization, and environmental sustainability, Terrashroom is empowering a new generation of mushroom growers and urban gardeners to explore the wonders of fungal cultivation.
