Mushroom Guru"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". Mushrooms have more to teach us than you know. Welcome to Mushroom Guru. This website is designed to give you accurate information about mushrooms that you can eat and mushrooms that you should avoid.
If you would like to learn how to grow these mystifying specimens yourself...we may have a solution for you. Mushroom Guru delivers mushroom education via informal workshops and courses, and Social media platforms. Mushroom Guru also produces spawn and mushroom cultures for the general public and to a growing mushroom cultivating community called: "fungkifriends™". From spawn and cultivation supplies, to training hosted at the factory in Strand, Mushroom Guru is fast becoming the "go-to" website for mushroom information in South Africa. Fungal Lab We boast a culture library of 56 mushroom species, of which you get to choose 10 at our Advanced Fungi Culturing Course |
WorkshopsIn the workshop you may choose which mushroom species you would like to use to inoculate your "take home bag" - Oyster, Shiitake or Reishi. Once you have made up your own bag and learnt how to add the mushroom spawn, you then take it home and look after it. In a short while, you will have mushrooms growing from you grow bag. Read more
Lab TrainingThis fungi culturing course is NOT a group mushroom course. You will be the only delegate on the day and you will therefore receive the required attention that you need, to learn in your own way. Your learning and instruction will come from; documents designed for this fungi course; practical
demonstrations, assistance and guidance from Craig. The four sections of the mushroom course overlap each other in content, which all compliment one another. Read more |
Mushroom Industry Growing in South Africa!
Since the launch of Mushroom Guru, in 2013, the mushroom industry in South Africa has grown and given rise to new beginnings for many inspired mushroom cultivators. Mushroom Guru has trained over 500 workshop attendees and 115 Advanced Fungi delegates to date, all of which are now referred to as fungkifriends. I love every minute when I am busy with a DIY project! |
