Production Process Production Process

Dr. AG’s smart-farm system precisely controls every stage of mushroom production—from colonization and cultivation to harvesting and shipment—ensuring superior freshness, consistent quality, and enhanced productivity.

  • Mycelial Colonization

    • Material Mixing

      Base ingredients are blended in a large-capacity mixer, followed by controlled water addition. The mixing ratio is a key determinant of the final yield.

    • Substrate Filling

      The automatic substrate filling machine loads the prepared substrate mixture uniformly into each bottle.

    • Sterilization

      Sterilization eliminates microorganisms and removes any substances that could hinder mycelial growth.

    • Cooling

      Cooling lowers the internal substrate temperature in preparation for spore inoculation.

      • What Makes Dr. AG Different

      • Proprietary High-Flow spore Selection System

        Proprietary High-Flow spore Selection System

        Only high-quality spore is selected to eliminate risk from the outset. As spore functions much like seeds, poor initial quality can lead to problems across the entire process.

      • Colonization Validation Through Test Cultivation

        Colonization Validation Through Test Cultivation

        Selected spore undergoes test cultivation rather than being used immediately. Germination rate, growth pattern, and stability are rigorously verified.

      • Ensuring Consistent Quality for Consumer Confidence

        Ensuring Consistent Quality for Consumer Confidence

        With stable, high-quality spore, defects are minimized and both uniformity and production reliability are strengthened.

    • Inoculation

      Under clean-room conditions, premium spore is evenly introduced into the center hole and upper surface of the substrate.

    • Mycelial Colonization

      Mycelium spreads uniformly through the substrate. Temperature, CO₂ levels, and humidity are tightly controlled—critical factors for optimal development.

    • Mycelium Scratching

      Lightly scraping the mycelial surface induces regenerative growth, stimulating mushroom formation.

  • Primordia Formation (Pinning)

    • Pinning

      Conditions are adjusted to trigger the emergence of mushroom primordia (pins).

    • Growth Regulation

      Growth speed is moderated to maintain uniform development across all bottles.

  • Growth

    • Cultivation

      A protective cone is placed over each bottle to shape mushroom growth. Temperature, CO₂ levels, and humidity are precisely controlled—the core factors of this stage.

  • Packaging

    • Harvesting & Packaging

      Mature mushrooms are harvested and immediately vacuum-packed. Vacuum sealing and cold storage extend shelf life and preserve freshness.

    • 02. Bottle Washing

      Bottles are thoroughly cleaned for reuse.

  • E. Storage

    • Cold Storage

      Finished products are stored in refrigerated facilities to maintain optimal freshness.

Dr. AG Spore & Mycelial Colonization

To ensure the highest level of quality,
we implement a rigorous screening process beginning at the foundational spore stage.

Only high-quality spore with verified productivity and stability is used,
enabling consistently superior quality even in large-scale production.

  • Contamination checks during spore receipt and colonization
  • Selection of high-vitality spore through vigor testing
  • Pilot-scale cultivation tests using selected premium spore
  • Storage-life testing of harvested mushrooms
