A Series Of 6 Recorded Classes To Get You Growing Mushrooms Like A Pro.
When I started growing mushrooms nine years ago it was hard to know where to begin. I made this course so you don’t have to start where I did. This course will save you from years of trials and screw ups (I already did that) and get you growing mushrooms and mycelium successfully! We will focus on the fundamentals of mushroom cultivation and build up to all the details of designing a commercial mushroom farm. Any successful farm has to sell products as well as grow them, so we will explore successful ways of selling fresh mushrooms, products beyond mushrooms, and how to access and apply for grant money. This course is useful for anyone from the home scale grower to the small scale mushroom farmer. The course includes:
- (6) 90 minute recorded lectures–Lifetime access

My wife and I are starting a new specialty mushroom farm. We just finished the Fungi Ally Commercial Mushroom Cultivation online course. This class is 6 weeks of incredibly helpful learning and information in a wonderfully supportive environment. Willie is AWESOME and so supportive. He was always willing and able to answer all of our questions and is incredibly knowledgeable about starting and maintaining a mushroom farming operation. The course covers everything from species of specialty mushroom info to medicinal mushrooms and all the infrastructure, business, and distribution topics required regardless of your aspirations. Highly recommend this class and Fungi Ally! I am really looking forward to engagement with Willie and his company as embark on the adventure of starting our farm! Erik Smith
