## Key points

- Lykyn worked well for growing mushrooms.
- The $300 chamber puts the process on display.
- It controls humidity, airflow and light, but not temperature.

## Summary

A reviewer tested the Lykyn, an app-controlled chamber for growing mushrooms, and found that it worked well as a fruiting chamber. Its clear panels, lighting and mist make the growing process a prominent display, but the reviewer questioned whether that is worth the $300 price.

The unit measures 13 by 13 by 15 inches and controls humidity, airflow and lighting according to settings for different species; it does not regulate temperature. It needs Wi-Fi and a power source, and the reviewer had to adjust the humidifier’s wick to get it working. Mushroom blocks are sold separately, and the test included 5-pound shiitake and pink oyster blocks.
