Growing Exotic and Medicinal mushrooms has fast become the new "Sexy" in the mushroom industry.

Mushroom DIY, Courses and Training

As of January 2023, we will no longer be offering in person training. 

We offer FREE material for Level 1 and Level 2, which is sent to you via a download link once you have purchased the qualifying item (either dowels or spawn). Please click on the Learn More buttons below, to learn how to access this FREE material and what you will need to duplicate these cultivation methods.

Level 3 and Level 4 are accessed through our Learning Centre and each module can be purchased separately, with the Introduction being FREE. Please click on the Learn More buttons below, to lean how to access this PAID material and what you will need to duplicate these cultivation methods.

During our time as trainers over the past 10 years, we have trained over 750 people through workshops at our facility and 120 in the skills of Advanced Cultivation. We have decided to refine our focus in order to help more people, by assisting them with their health and wellbeing. This requires of us a full commitment to Reishi cultivation and producing the Ganoderma GOLD range of products, or providing our premium Dual Antler Extract (MG-LZ8) to those wanting to include it in their own products to enhance the efficacy.

As a commitment to you, the mushroom enthusiast looking to learn, we will continue to offer the information in an online format and we will add videos and content to enhance the Learning Centre over time. We trust you will benefit from the material, as many before you have.
