Question 1

How do I get started with MycoQR?

Accepted Answer

Interested in MycoQR? Request a demo to see the platform in action. Once you have access, you'll add your first strain to your library, create a batch or production run, and print QR codes to attach to your containers. You can be up and running in under 10 minutes with no special equipment required.

Question 2

What equipment do I need?

Accepted Answer

Just a smartphone or computer and a way to print QR codes. While a standard printer works for getting started, we recommend the Brother QL-810WC with DK-1201 labels for commercial operations—it's the only setup we guarantee survives high-humidity grow room environments. No special scanners needed; your phone's camera handles all the scanning.

Question 3

How does QR code tracking work?

Accepted Answer

Each batch or substrate bag gets a unique QR code. Simply scan it with your phone to view or update information about that specific batch, including stage transitions, notes, and environmental conditions.

Question 4

What cultivation stages can I track?

Accepted Answer

MycoQR tracks all stages including inoculation, colonization, fruiting initiation, pinning, fruiting, and harvest—covering the complete cultivation lifecycle from start to finish.

Question 5

Can I track multiple grow rooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MycoQR supports organizing items by location at any level—create locations for individual shelves, incubation chambers, fruiting rooms, or entire facilities. This flexibility lets you track items exactly how your operation is organized.

Question 6

How do I handle contamination?

Accepted Answer

When you encounter contamination, you can mark the item and document details like contamination type, location, and suspected causes. MycoQR automatically flags sibling items as at-risk so you can inspect them before problems spread. This data helps you identify patterns and improve your techniques over time.

Question 9

How does lineage tracking work?

Accepted Answer

MycoQR automatically tracks parent-child relationships as you propagate cultures. When you transfer from agar to grain, or grain to substrate, the system maintains the complete family tree so you can trace any item back to its original source.

Question 10

Can I track sales and customers?
