Compost is used as a natural substrate for the commercial cultivation of mushrooms. A good compost is the basis for an optimum crop. Limax Substrates is an expert when it comes to substrates for the cultivation of mushrooms. Our expertise in the field of mushroom substrates (the raw materials and their production) and the cultivation process ensures that we know exactly what is needed to deliver our vitality boosters to the consumer while still extremely fresh, full of flavour and good nutrients.
We have been producing full-grown compost for the cultivation of mushrooms in the Polish town of Zodyn since 2004. We supply our mushroom substrate to Polish growers, who cultivate mushrooms for the European market, some of which are also sold via Limax. The strategic move to produce mushroom substrate ourselves led us to acquire even greater knowledge of the chain and expertise in the field of fresh mushrooms for the Limax Group.
In order to strengthen our strategic position, we further expanded and improved our production in 2018, with the construction of a modern bunker system for phase 1 compost and a new tunnel complex for phase 3 compost, according to the latest technological developments.

We currently produce some 1,000 tonnes of full-grown compost every week, which yields around 300,000 kg of fresh mushrooms per week.
