Termitary

Fruit a mushroom grow kit with passive airflow

A fruiting chamber for mushroom grow kits, ventilated like a termite mound. Termites farm fungus inside mounds that breathe by the stack effect; here low slots on the front take in fresh air and high slots at the back let the warm moist air out, so oyster mushrooms get humidity without stale air.
