FREE Mushroom DIY, Courses and Training

Mushroom Guru no longer offers in person training. During our time as trainers over the past 12 years, we have trained over 1000 people through workshops at our facility and 120 in the skills of Advanced Fungi Cultivation. We have decided to refine our company focus, in order to help more people by assisting them with their health and well-being. This requires full commitment to our SUPER REISHI cultivation, producing our Ganoderma GOLD range, and our continued research into MG-LZ8 (our Dual Antler Extract) being offered as a world-class immune boosting ingredient into other independent products.

As a commitment to you, the mushroom crazy enthusiast looking to learn, we will continue to offer the information in an online format for FREE 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.

We therefore offer all of our training material AT NO CHARGE for all levels of mushroom cultivation, whether you are a beginner, or looking to hone your advanced cultivation skills.
  • For Level 1 & 2 we provide tutorials (with video links in the Oyster mushroom tutorial on substrate preparation and bag packing)
