“Fungi Academy fills a desperately needed void in the education space with a modern, sometimes hilarious, but always informative crash course on home mushroom cultivation.
This course provides the steps and instills confidence in the grower with practical, yet easy to digest information.
Mushroom Cultivation Teacher & Entrepreneur
You no longer have to dig through old forum posts, or piece together information from random corners of the internet.
Fungi Academy lays it all out, step by step, in a fun and engaging way!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
There’s something very special about this place !
“I love how they’re able to bounce of each other, the teamwork behind the course is amazing”
“This is how it’s done, folks!
From San Francisco to Guatemala, the travel was multi-vehicle and entirely worth it. Fungi Academy was stock-full of multi-cultural, effervescent and intentional community. Incredible to be a part of.
I have the entire skill-set to be a local fungi grower after Jasper’s course. I feel confident to grow and if I have questions, I have a substantial community to reach out to.
The joy that this course brought me will have me going back! It’s a joy I want to share with everyone. Do not hesitate to take a course here at Fungi Academy — if you feel called, trust the calling.”
“A magical experience in a magical heavenly hidden paradise.
The staff, the vibes, the atmosphere, and ohhh yes! the food!
Above all, the information and learning, a professional experience, exceeded all my expectations. I will go there again for more.
I loved every moment”
“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….”
“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.”
“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.”
“An unforgettable learning experience! Innovative and practical.
In a beautiful space surrounded by nature and life, thanks to the whole team! They make you feel like family”
“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.”
“Great experience, both pedagogical and human. Incredible environment in the middle of nature next to Lake Atitlán, a land full of magic, energy and ancestral wisdom. Recommended 100%”
“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.”
Oliver and Jasper are both seasoned mycophiles. These two Myconauts never fit with the traditional academic system yet, their thirst for knowledge carried them on a path of lifelong learning.
With the skillset of self-taught teachers, they aim to make the art and science of mushroom cultivation accessible to everyone aspiring to be a citizen mycologist.
With a combined 25+ years of mushroom growing experience and more than 5000 students taught since 2016, Oliver and Jasper set out on a mission to make learning online mushroom cultivation easy, fun, and exciting!
Sacred mycology is about creating meaning and purpose in our lives with the help of mushrooms. It’s about learning to interact and listen to nature’s wisdom within and around us.
This wisdom has the potential to help us heal and regenerate our bodies and our environment. Sacred mushrooms can inspire us to find purpose and a deeply meaningful existence while living here on earth.
Fungi Academy is about sharing the magic of fungal wisdom with the world!
We connect you with leading voices from a global network of citizen mycologists, psychonauts, and ecological change-makers. Our greatest passion is creating transformational learning experiences for people who love mushrooms.

We believe the more we understand the world, the deeper our capacity to love and care for her.
Are you ready to deepen your love for this beautiful planet?
“It was great to learn from the very get-go how easy it is to do this at home!”
“Until I started the course I was failing, now I have yields of 460g!”
“I was immediately hooked, the information is just so well put together, it just grips you. It makes you laugh, it keeps you interested, it makes you want to watch it over and over!”
“I think confidence is key. I didn’t know where to start, and now I do!”
“I like that it’s on my own pace. Everything is broken down so easily!”
“The Fungi Academy Mastermind is an amazing community. It felt like it was truly meant to happen!”
Yes, seriously 😊🍄
We do not endorse nor condone the cultivation and use of sacred mushrooms. We are just providing you with the highest quality education on sacred mycology.
There are many places on this planet where laws are flexible when it comes to psychedelic mushrooms. And laws are changing rapidly.
If it’s not yet legal where you live, you can customize your learning experience by starting this training with a (non-psychoactive) mushroom strain of your choice.
We will focus on Psilocybe cubensis, the most widely cultivated magic mushroom, in the Sacred mushroom cultivation course.
We understand this is not legally available everywhere. Therefore you can follow the course with edible mushrooms like Oysters or button mushrooms!
This is a step-by-step online video course that you can follow at your own pace.
Every video lesson, theoretical and practical, is supported by written documentation, sources for additional reading, and some Fungi Academy flair. 😏 You will get access to the complete text at graduation, including many recipes and checklists in a handy PDF bundle. 📚
Mastermind students will also have access to our private online community with fellow students, mycologists, and psychedelic explorers. 🌌
Communal support, like the mycelial network, is the pillar of the Mastermind group. Yet we also host regular live classes with experts, Q&A sessions, and online integration circles.
The course is designed to learn at your own pace. 🙌
The video lessons are prerecorded! We will also record all of the live classes with the Mastermind group so you can watch all of the material whenever it works for you!
The problem with learning on your own is that there is so much information on mushroom cultivation everywhere. Some of it is contradictory, and a lot of it is outdated. Mushroom cultivation in 2020 is easy if you know where to start.
With the right guidance and up-to-date mushroom cultivation methods, it is easy to learn how to grow your very own mushrooms. Edible, medicinal, or psychedelic.
Knowledge and skill go hand in hand in this life-changing practice. The more you cultivate mushrooms, the more you know, the better you get! Mushroom cultivation is a skill that will stay with you for life. It’s a bit like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, you’ll never forget it. 🚲😉
Absolutely not!
If you want to become a psychedelic therapist, then you have to go through proper training. This course is not it. And when it comes to becoming “shaman” it’s better to search for people who have a lineage of doing it. Or wear crazy hats.🧙♂️
Mushroom cultivation is a fantastic practice that connects you with your food and medicine. It put’s you right into the moment. It’s you, and the mycelium vs. EVERYTHING else. We could almost write the book, ‘Zen and the art of Mushroom Cultivation.’ Maybe we will get to that book when we need a break from making epic online learning experiences. 😏
Not only do we cultivate mushrooms to cultivate ourselves. We are in the middle of a #Shroomboom happening!💥
Get ready for a fungal future!🍄🚀
According to the Global Wellness Trend report 2018, the mushroom industry is booming. Top areas of growth include:
Denver, Oakland, and Santa Cruz decriminalized city-wide sacred mushrooms, and more extensive changes to sacred mushrooms’ legislation are underway.
Sacred mushrooms are destined to experience the type of growth and transformation that cannabis has enjoyed in the last decade.
Now is the time to get skilled about all things Fungi.
Be ready, get skilled, change is coming!🙌
To get spores turned into mushrooms is a process that at least takes 8-10 weeks the first time around! The more you practice, the faster this can get!
You are supported in this process every step of the way with 70+ video lessons, 130+ pages of text, checklists, recipes, and additional reading material!
Instead of cluttering your life with more earthly possessions, why not embark on a celestial adventure and explore the wonders of the Fungal Universe?
