I love every minute when I am busy with a DIY project! 

From putting up a shelf to growing an exotic mushroom, if it means that I get to use my skills and reap the gratifying reward of seeing something that I have completed...I'm there...bells, whistles and flags!

"The Mushroom is the Teacher"

The word guru, as a noun, means "teacher" or "imparter of knowledge" in Sanskrit. 

As an adjective, guru means "heavy with knowledge".

Mushroom Workshops

If you would like to book your seat for our next workshop or just view what we have to offer, please visit our Mushroom Workshops page.
​

We offer three mushroom workshops and an Advanced Course.

• How to grow Exotic and Medicinal mushrooms
• Advanced Fungi Culturing Course

In any of our workshops, you will learn the different types of Oyster mushrooms, how to grow them at home and how to prepare them. You will be guided through the process of making up substrates and loading grow-bags. How to handle your mushroom spawn is also an important part of this workshop. 

In the Advanced Fungi Culturing Course you learn everything from making your own mushroom cultures to grow bags. Not for the 'faint hearted'.

Once you have done a workshop or course and you are considering growing your own mushrooms, consider becoming a fungkifriend™​! We will use this website to help you setup your business and begin attracting customers for you!
