This course provides the steps and instills confidence in the grower with practical, yet easy to digest information.

Fungi Academy lays it all out, step by step, in a fun and engaging way!”
Fungi Academy is a global community of passionate earthlings brought together by a deep love for fungi and a shared belief in their transformative power. Our mission is to connect a global community to empower the growing and sharing of fungal wisdom.
Since 2016, we’ve been committed to making mushroom education easy, accessible and most of all, fun! You could say we put the ‘fun’ in Fungi! Through our heart-centered work, we’ve connected a diverse, worldwide network of mycophiles, naturalists and psychonauts. We work to make humans inspired to explore fungi as a path to personal growth, ecological harmony, and collective healing.
Our vision is to spread fungal wisdom far and wide, from the classrooms to corporate board meetings and even within governments. We want the lessons of the fungi to inspire action, curiosity, and care in communities across the globe. Together, we’re cultivating a deeper relationship with nature and therefore ourselves, we are not separate, not from nature, not from each other. Together with the Fungi we stand united in our commitment to a more connected, regenerative future.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
Instead of cluttering your life with more earthly possessions, why not embark on a celestial adventure and explore the wonders of the Fungal Universe?
