FREE Advanced Fungi Culturing Course

Culturing mushroom mycelium is not a difficult task, especially if you know where and how it all begins.

​Our intention is to teach and train individuals in a convenient online offering, how to grow their own edible and medicinal mushrooms - from culturing to cultivation. This mushroom course is called the "Advanced Fungi Culturing Course" as you will learn, in great detail, the methods and processes used to culture mycelium. Once you've applied your newly acquired knowledge from this mushroom course, you will come to realise that it is not as difficult as you thought and you will understand why we use the slogan "fear not the fungi".
To understand the full scope of mushroom cultivation, you will need to:
  • know how to make your own agar nutrient plates
  • know how to culture i.e. clone, transfer and isolate good mycelium from contamination
  • know how to work in a glove box
  • know how to make grain spawn and multiply it to save you money
  • know how to grow different species using multiple techniques of substrate preparation i.e. make mushroom grow bags
  • tips and tricks about harvesting
  • understand the concept of Aeroponics.
