Question 1

How does the Department of Fungi mushroom vending machine work?

The Department of Fungi vending machine is a professional touchscreen vending fridge stocked with fresh functional mushrooms straight from our farm near Warsaw. Mushrooms reach the machine within 24 hours of harvest and have a shelf life of 3 weeks. One week before the expiry date we collect unsold mushrooms and process them into dried mushrooms and dietary supplements — zero waste.
