The Mushroom of Matera - 'noble par excellence', Cardoncello mushroom production facilities.
The Modarelli family has been involved in farming since 1978. Brothers Giuseppe, Salvatore and Massimo are the heirs to a tradition that binds them to the land and their origins: this is how the GSM farm was created, dedicated to the cultivation of cardoncelli mushrooms and peaches. In addition to their love for the land and attention to preserving nature and the environment, the Modarelli brothers are attentive to the quality of the products they market and offer healthy food with excellent organoleptic properties. This approach ennobles and promotes the spread of one of Lucania's typical products, the 'cardoncello', a prized mushroom that is also a tourist attraction.
The intervention funds the construction of technologically automated plants for the cultivation of Pleurotus Eryngii, the so-called 'cardoncello' mushroom. The technological innovation brought by the new plant allows the temperature of the mushroom greenhouse to be controlled and a rainwater collection system aimed at saving water resources to be built. In addition to this, the new technologies facilitate the atomisation and humidification of the rooms. Thanks to the new facilities, GSM fine-tunes its cultivation techniques in a controlled environment, guaranteeing a cool, dry product that can be grown even in the winter months.
