Our Standards
Where Swiss Standards Meet Scientific Excellence
Quality is not a feature we bolt on. It is the foundation of how we cultivate, process, and supply every product we produce.
Controlled Environment
Every Variable Managed. Every Parameter Documented.
Our cultivation facilities maintain precise control over every environmental factor that influences mushroom quality. This is not approximate — it is engineered.
Temperature
Species-specific set points maintained within ±1°C
Humidity
Relative humidity managed per cultivation stage
CO₂ Levels
Monitored and controlled for optimal development
Air Exchange
Calculated fresh air cycles per fruiting chamber
Light Cycles
Species-appropriate photoperiod and intensity
Substrate
Standardised formulations sterilised prior to inoculation
Hygiene Standards
Contamination Prevention Is Built In

Contamination Prevention Is Built In
In mushroom cultivation, contamination is the primary risk that undermines consistency. Our facility design and operating procedures are built around prevention, not response.
All substrate preparation and inoculation occurs in controlled environments with pressure differentials and HEPA filtration where required. Entry protocols, surface sanitation schedules, and equipment cleaning procedures are documented and followed.
We conduct visual assessment at every stage of production. Batches that do not meet quality parameters are removed from the supply chain before they reach the customer.
Sterile Inoculation Environment
Cultures introduced under conditions designed to prevent airborne contamination.
Surface Sanitation Protocols
All surfaces in contact with product follow documented cleaning and sanitation schedules.
Visual Inspection at Every Stage
Substrate, colonising blocks, developing fruiting bodies, and harvested product are all assessed visually.
Batch Rejection Criteria
Defined criteria for removing non-compliant batches from the supply chain before customer delivery.
Consistency
Batch-to-Batch Reliability
Designed for consistent output — not seasonal variability.

Traceability
Full Chain of Custody — From Substrate to Delivery
Every batch is traceable through our production system. Clients who require documentation can request batch records that link the delivered product back to its complete production history.
Substrate Lot
All substrate materials are logged by supplier, lot, and date of preparation. Sterilisation records are maintained for every batch.
Culture Source
Cultures are maintained from documented genetic lines. Inoculation records link each cultivation block to a specific culture generation.
Cultivation Records
Environmental parameters are recorded throughout colonisation and fruiting. Anomalies are noted and assessed before harvest clearance.
Harvest Documentation
Each harvest is weighed, dated, and assigned a batch identifier. Fresh weight, moisture content, and visual quality assessment are recorded.
Processing Log
Drying, milling, and packaging operations are logged per batch. Equipment used, processing parameters, and operator records are maintained.
Delivery Record
Outbound shipments are linked to harvest and processing batch records. Clients receive batch documentation on request.
Quality Framework
Building Toward Regulated Standards
SMART MYCEL is an early-stage producer operating with a quality-first approach from day one. Our current systems are designed around documentation, process control, and traceability — the foundations of any recognised quality management standard.
We are actively developing our quality management framework toward internationally recognised food safety and ingredient supply standards. We will publish achieved certifications as they are obtained.
For clients with specific documentation or quality system requirements, we are happy to discuss our current capabilities and development roadmap.
Discuss your requirementsDocumented Production System
All cultivation, processing, and dispatch steps are documented. Batch records available on request.
Environmental Control Monitoring
Climate parameters logged throughout cultivation. Records retained by batch.
ISO 22000 Food Safety Management
HACCP-based food safety system under development. Target: certification within operational scale-up.
GMP-Ready Production Standards
Structured quality management framework planned for ingredient and pharmaceutical supply applications.
