We Protect
What's Worth
Growing.
A calyx protects the developing seed. CalyxBox protects the whole of a mushroom business, three ways: the software farms run on, the wholesale mushrooms we grow and supply, and MotorSpores, our own direct-to-consumer brand. We proved all three on our own farm first.
A closer look
What CalyxBox does.
We started on our own farm and grew outward. Today CalyxBox works three ways, all on one foundation: grow it well, sell it direct, give some back.
02
Wholesale
Grown for your shelf.
Functional mushrooms supplied to other businesses. Bulk CalyxBox Ingredients by the pound, and finished products ready for the shelf.

Direct to consumer
The MotorSpores brand.
Our own farm's brand: fresh mushrooms and functional products, sold direct to people at motorspores.com and Chicagoland markets.

Grow it. Sell it.
Most farm software stops at the grow room. Most commerce software has no idea what's growing. CalyxBox makes both, and connects them: what you harvest becomes what you sell, automatically.

Why we build
Three jobs.
Every tool we ship has the same three responsibilities, in the same order. The work, the resource, and the people who made it possible.
01
Protect
What's fragile.
Freshness. Focus. The resources already spent. We make sure the work survives the journey from idea to plate to door.
02
Promote
Responsible consumption.
Healthy, local, transparent: the kind of consumption that gives back more than it takes.
03
Return
Value to the community.
A fixed percentage of every sale routed to named local causes. Not "a portion of proceeds." A line item, recapped publicly.
Cause-driven by default
10%
SporeUX has give-back built in. MotorSpores routes 10% of every sale to named local causes through it, never anonymous, always ledgered.
