# Our Farm — Wecelium Farms

Source: https://weceliumfarms.com/platform

Wecelium Farms is developing an IoT-controlled exotic mushroom farm in Goa, specialising in Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, Oyster, and Chestnut.

In development; the facility and inaugural product range are taking shape.

## Shiitake

*Lentinula edodes*

A gourmet staple with a rich, savoury character. Fresh mushrooms lead our inaugural curation; dried and powdered formats are a longer-term ambition.

In the kitchen: Deep umami and a firm, meaty bite. Sear caps for a browned edge or simmer in stocks, broths, and sauces.

## Lion’s Mane

*Hericium erinaceus*

Cascading ivory clusters with a distinctive texture, bringing something different to the specialty mushroom kitchen.

In the kitchen: Delicate flavour with a seafood-like, fibrous texture. Slice thickly, press gently, and pan-sear until golden; try in a seafood-style main.

## Oyster

*Pleurotus spp.*

Versatile culinary mushrooms cultivated on suitable agricultural residues and carefully formulated substrates.

In the kitchen: Mild, savoury caps with tender flesh and crisp edges when roasted. Tear into clusters for a hot sauté, grill, or tempura.

## Chestnut

*Pholiota adiposa*

A specialty variety that brings texture and character to fresh gourmet mushroom selections.

In the kitchen: Earthy, nutty flavour with stems that retain a pleasant bite. Sauté for risotto, fold into pasta, or roast whole clusters.

# Planned facility

## Substrate preparation

Mixing · Bag filling · Autoclaving · Storage

Suitable sawdust and agricultural residue substrates are formulated, moisture-adjusted, bagged, and sterilised or pasteurised as required.

## Spawn & inoculation

Spawn lab · Holding room · Inoculation room

Selected quality spawn and hygienic handling support the introduction of mycelium into prepared substrate.

## Incubation

Dedicated incubation hall

A controlled environment supports mycelium as it colonises the substrate before fruiting.

## Fruiting

Growing rooms 01–06

Six dedicated growing rooms support species-specific conditions for mushroom formation and development.

## Post-harvest care

Packing room · Cold store

Harvested mushrooms are graded, cleaned, weighed, and packed, with cold storage supporting fresh handling.

Separate male and female changing rooms, a commercial office, and a director’s office support daily work. This is a functional overview, not a scaled floor plan.
