Bekas Pabrik Jamur Sumber Brantas is a derelict former mushroom processing facility located in the highlands of Batu, East Java. The site is characterized by its weathered, moss-covered concrete structures and exposed skeletal framework remnants of industrial production. It is situated at a high altitude near the headwaters of the Brantas River, resulting in a consistently cool, foggy climate. Abandoned by its original operators years ago, the site has been reclaimed by vegetation, creating a unique aesthetic often sought after for urban exploration and photography. It sits adjacent to the road leading toward the Cangar hot springs. The architecture displays typical mid-century industrial layout features, now significantly eroded by exposure to mountain weather. The site remains largely unmaintained, serving as a landmark of industrial abandonment rather than a formal museum.

Ensure your camera or phone is fully charged, as there are no power facilities on-site.
Do not attempt to enter the site during heavy rain or thick fog due to slippery surfaces and low visibility. Avoid going alone as the area is remote.
Avoid removing any structural elements or graffiti; exercise extreme caution near crumbling walls and floor openings.
