Precision microclimate management is critical for stabilizing oyster mushroom (P. ostreatus) production under variable farm conditions. This study evaluates Mushroom Kothi, an IoT-enabled cultivation system integrating low-cost sensors, automated control strategies, and cloud-based monitoring, across multiple agro-climatic zones and seasons in India (Bharat). Comparative trials with conventional farmer-managed systems show that Mushroom Kothi significantly reduces microclimate variability, improves yield consistency, enhances fruit body uniformity, and increases water-use efficiency without relying on energy-intensive cooling. The results demonstrate that biologically informed, automated environmental stabilization—rather than growth forcing—can support sustainable, smallholder-oriented precision mushroom cultivation.
