Labeling & Batch-code
Generate a traceable batch code and a produce label for every grow — species, date and batch number in one consistent format — so any pack can be traced back to a single harvest.
The code combines a species prefix, the date and a batch number, like POY-20261008-B01. The label preview adds the scientific name, net weight and storage line, ready to print. Log the same code in your grow journal and you've closed the loop from spawn to sale — useful for quality control and the traceability some buyers require.
The code encodes species, date and batch so any pack traces back to one grow: prefix–YYYYMMDD–B##. Log the same code in your Grow Journal to close the loop from spawn to sale.
How to use it
- Pick your species. It sets the code's prefix and the label's common and scientific names.
- Set date and batch number. The pack or harvest date, and which batch of the day it is.
- Add net weight. Optional, for the label preview.
- Copy the code or use the label. A batch code and a produce label, ready to print or paste.
Questions
Why use batch codes?
Traceability. A batch code lets you trace any pack back to one specific grow — useful for quality control, recalls, and the records some markets require.
What should a mushroom label include?
The common and scientific name, a batch code, the pack date, net weight, and storage instructions such as keep refrigerated or store cool and dry.
How does the batch code work?
It combines a species prefix, the date and a batch number — POY-20261008-B01 — so the code alone identifies the species, day and batch.
Do I need batch codes to sell mushrooms?
It's good practice everywhere, and some markets require traceability. Logging the same code in your grow journal closes the loop from spawn to sale.
