We are a team of urban agriculture and circular economy lovers. Every day we recover coffee grounds to transform them, once in high quality mushrooms, and then in fertilizer for the soil. 

Fungo Box is a circular economy experience.
During Expo 2015, a research carried out by the Polytechnic of Turin about the cultivation of mushrooms from coffee grounds is experimented for the first time. Lavazza and Novamont deliver their coffee wastes to Il Giardinone, which begins the process of transformation. Compared to those grown according to standard methods, these mushrooms have a higher protein level, a fiber content 3 times higher and a phosphorus content higher than 50%. 

This experience gives us the opportunity to start our own project in 2016. Fungo Box is the kit for the self cultivation of fresh mushrooms from coffee grounds.
