Mushroom Cultivation Course (2024)

"Fungi Academy significantly advanced my research interests, theory, and practice of mycology. The perceived instructor effectiveness goes beyond five starts to cover all the stars (or spores) in the universe into countless points of recommendation. The cultivation and journey was equivalent to a graduate-level mycology degree program from a top-ranked university, compressed into an amazing week of fungal immersion."

Dr. Robert Whipple PhD.USA

"Some of my favorite things about the course is that it's so hands-on, you’re not just sitting in a classroom. We get ourselves doing the actual procedures... it's stuff that maybe could confuse somebody that’s new but since you have so many people who know what they're doing and are right next to you, it definitely makes the process and learning way easier."

"The biggest thing is the knowledge; from not knowing literally anything about mushrooms and the process to cultivating them. I am ready to just go home and start cultivating. I feel that confident in everything I learned here throughout the week."

"I was so impressed with how professional the curriculum is laid out, the imagery, the marketing. Everything from A - Z you guys have thought of, I’m very impressed. It’s not your standard hippie operation."

JesseUSA

"So far my favorite thing has been the hands-on teaching, and being able to do every little agar transfer, substrate, agar to substrate; all those steps. If you’ve already done them with someone who knows them then you feel safe doing it at home. It's way better than what I found reading a book and on the internet, you never really know, here it felt like there’s always a teacher staring at you, and I like that. Now I feel confident."

JonasSweden

"If you have a love for mushrooms, and a love for plants, and really want to know the species, and don’t know where to start. I think it's a good way to start, and find the root of it, and just start!"

YasmineGermany

"Fungi Academy as a team figured out this genius way of providing an education and making it friendly. So that regardless of your educational status, your educational background, you can take the course and walk away learning. Ready to start your journey of cultivation…."

"No words can describe the experience of learning and connecting with the most awesome humans on the planet! The course, the crew(both in front and behind the scenes) and my fellow companions on this adventure all blew any expectations I thought I might have out of the water!! 🤯Fungi Academy was everything I wanted for a cultivation course. Most importantly, it was also everything I didn’t know I needed!"

Dustin USA

"This experience was really life changing; like a true mushroom journey, I got the medicine I needed and not necessarily what I wanted. Though, with you folks, I got both - and I'm so grateful. Thank you for all you taught, held, fostered, and transformed - thank you so much for cultivating such mycelial magic in it's many forms."

"The place is just magical and it feels like home. I'm vegan and the food was just extremely delicious and suitable for all kinds of diets people have. All the teachers are very knowledgeable and moreover fun! The course provides you with the best techniques you need to start growing mushrooms in a successful way."

Carlos Uruguay

"My experience in the face-to-face cultivation course was fascinating, extremely inspiring.The way that each facilitator transmits their wisdom is an art channeled from their experience with much love and attention to detail, and they manage to create a program that fuses science, biology, theory, history, spiritual practices (meditations, yoga, breathwork) and laboratory practices, which help to deepen fungi awareness."

MichelleMexico

"The Fungi Academy course and experience blew open the creative pathways in my mind. I learned how to technically, physically, and symbiotically cultivate and harvest gourmet and medicinal mushrooms at a level beyond my imagination. I am forever grateful to the team for helping me pack in 10 years of learning in just one week. You all have huge hearts and brilliant minds, and I cannot wait to see you again! Matiox!"

"Had the most amazing time at the beautiful paradise called Fungi Academy and learned so much from the lovely Fungi Family! So grateful for meeting all the amazing likeminded people and the great knowlegde passed along, as well as the hands on learning with the clear, helping, innovative and experienced teachers. Now I feel confident with the knowhow and support to grow! What a fun(gi) week, for ever in my heart, thank you"

AggieNetherlands

"The teachers were interactive, patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. The content is direct and easy to understand, both in the classes as well in the handbook provided. The confidence, mycological knowledge, and community I gained there has been essential to developing my direction. I can't stress how magical it is walking away with connections to other mycophiles from around the globe who are so ready to support and share their continued journeys."

WarrenUSA

"I’ve taken 2 in person classes, one in Washington State and one in Guatemala. I signed up after a successful harvest that I learned from the online class. These are very nice people, who share their knowledge and enthusiasm for mushrooms and are there to help you be successful with cultivations. Don’t be afraid, go to Guatemala and have an amazing experience with Fungi Academy and learn something new. All kinds of students were included in the class. Young and old, professionals, medical practitioners, construction workers, college students, students of life."
