Observation capture
Plain-language grow records become structured production data.
Stage notes, environment readings, harvest weights, contamination observations, and photo evidence land in the same operating history.
Crowe Logic Inc.Southwest Mushrooms / Field systemCrowe Vision / contamination detection
Catch mold before it spreads.
Upload a substrate photo. Crowe Vision flags contamination, species, and stage in seconds, then ties the call to your batch record so you contain the problem before it crosses the room.
Free tier: one contamination analysis per month. No card required.

Humidity dropped 14 points while CO2 climbed past the fruiting envelope. Same signature preceded contamination on batches SHII-0331 and SHII-0408.

Pattern analysis
The platform compares the current grow against known failure patterns.
Species envelopes, batch age, substrate, humidity drift, CO2 drift, and visual symptoms are treated as signals instead of disconnected notes.
03
Procedure output
Decisions turn into SOPs, containment plans, and next actions.
Every recommendation stays tied to the record: what was observed, what changed, what to verify, and what to do next.
Source media bank
Real farm footage, indexed by transcript and turned into interface evidence.
The current bank has 6,001 indexed stills from 11 downloaded videos, with each still tied back to its source timestamp.
HarvestShiitake harvest pass

LabClean work and culture transfer

SterilizationSubstrate sterilization workflow

Pattern analysis tools
The interface follows the work: image, record, procedure, verification.

cross-batch / shiitake / 12 month8 of 14 runs
| batch | substrate | be % | flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| SHII-0427 | oak / wheat 60-40 | — | humidity drift / day 6 |
| SHII-0414 | oak / wheat 60-40 | 94% | clean |
| SHII-0408 | oak / soy 70-30 | 61% | trichoderma / day 7 |
| SHII-0331 | oak / soy 70-30 | 58% | trichoderma / day 8 |
| SHII-0317 | oak / wheat 60-40 | 97% | clean |
Substrate composition correlates with contamination outcome. The 70-30 oak / soy ratio failed twice in the same window. The platform surfaces these patterns the next time a grow with the same recipe is opened.
Where the method comes from
Roughly a decade of commercial growing, turned into the operating system.
Southwest Mushrooms is a real farm with a public following. Crowe Logic is that operating experience, made into software.
Working farm
Built inside a real production operation, not a demo environment.
Southwest Mushrooms has run commercial cultivation for roughly a decade, cultivating since 2005. The platform encodes how that farm actually decides: what to flag, when to contain, and what a clean batch should look like.
Taught in public
The same operation that growers already learn from on video.
Years of grow-room footage and walkthroughs from the Southwest Mushrooms channel are the source material indexed behind the interface. The method is documented, watched, and now operable.
Owned data loop
The defensible edge is the longitudinal record, not the model.
AI is now standard across cultivation tools. What stays proprietary is a continuous batch-by-batch record tied to real outcomes, plus MGAP food-safety compliance built on commercial practice.
Every grower starts ahead because the record already reflects how a working farm succeeds and fails. New batches sharpen it.
See the farm and the book
Book-backed system
The Mushroom Grower is the source text. Crowe Logic is the working instrument.
Chapters, cultivation media, field observations, and facility records become a single reference loop. Read the protocol, watch the operation, record the next batch, then compare the outcome.
Free contamination analysis
One photo per month on the free tier. Start before the next batch fails.
Built from a decade of commercial growing at Southwest Mushrooms: the same farm that growers have watched succeed and fail on camera, now encoded as an operating system.
Try contamination detection freeTrusted by the community
The method already teaches 195,000 growers.
Southwest Mushrooms has published cultivation walkthroughs to a 195K-subscriber audience with more than 9.7 million lifetime views. Crowe Logic is that same operation, made operable.
