For the period I have worked with mushrooms to improve people’s living conditions, I have found that: - Mushrooms are cool, exciting, beautiful, delicious, diverse, provide confidence and power are quite entertaining to study, are medicine are cleansing and fun!
Mushrooms umami flavour and meaty texture makes them a popular alternative for meat. More to that, they are packed with nutritional value.
Please support me share this good news through sharing a fruiting mushroom garden with a friend with a name of your choice.

Hello! Welcome to our Mushroom Cultivation Training Centre in Uganda. We are dedicated to empowering youths, women, children, and local communities in Africa by teaching them how to successfully grow mushrooms using low-tech, sustainable methods. We are proud to offer this educational opportunity and look forward to our yearly event where we will welcome participants from all over the African continent.
Our mission is to ensure that even the most underprivileged individuals can access our training and benefit from the potential economic and nutritional advantages of mushroom cultivation. To achieve this, we employ simple, affordable techniques that rely on locally available agricultural wastes as a substrate for mushroom growth. This way, we can help communities create a sustainable, environmentally-friendly source of income and food security.
Our yearly event will feature a variety of activities, including:
Hands-on workshops: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in practical sessions where they will learn how to prepare the substrate, inoculate with mushroom spores, and maintain optimal growth conditions.
Expert presentations: Local and international experts in the field of mushroom cultivation will share their knowledge and experience, providing valuable insights and tips for success.
Networking opportunities: The event will bring together like-minded individuals from different regions, allowing attendees to establish connections and collaborate on future projects.
Success stories: Local farmers who have successfully implemented our low-tech mushroom cultivation techniques will share their experiences and inspire others to embark on this rewarding journey.
Market access and value addition: We will provide information on how to access local and international markets, as well as how to add value to the harvested mushrooms through processing, packaging, and marketing.
We cordially invite you to join us in this exciting event and become part of our ever-growing network of mushroom growers in Africa. Together, we can empower our communities and contribute to a more sustainable, food-secure future.
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT AND SPONSORSHIP FROM THE MYCOLOGY COMMUNITY!
