Mushroom cultivation nowadays mostly done as indoor cultivation. The yield of mushroom is lesser in conventional method. To improve the yield of mushroom, automation in mushroom cultivation is needed and can be achieved using smart electronic components. For cultivating and growing mushrooms, certain parameters like temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO 2 level should be maintained at certain level. Depending upon the type of mushroom, these parameters should be changed. Mushroom needs a dark, cool, moist, and humid growing atmosphere. Many of them proposed Automatic mushroom cultivation, but cultivator didn’t achieve the required cooling. In order to solve the proposed problem, Peltier Air Conditioner with honey pad setup methodology is proposed in this paper. The main objective is to monitor and control the physical parameters automatically, those are essentially needed to be in control round the clock for the efficient cultivation of mushroom.
