Hands-On Mushroom Cultivation Mentorship

Come spend five days with us at Mossy Creek Mushrooms and Southeast Mushroom Supply. Work alongside mushroom professionals, ask questions as we go, and get hands-on with the parts of cultivation you want to learn.

We’ll build the week around your experience and goals. Want to focus on commercial production? Spend your time in the lab? Explore bioprospecting or see how we use spent mushroom substrate in our plant nursery? Tell us what interests you, and we’ll shape your mentorship around it.

Hands-on mentorship scenes: working with mushroom grain bags, learning lab techniques, and visiting the grow rooms.

Your week at a glance

Tuition: $3,000 for the five-day mentorship
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Hands-on laboratory work with mushroom substrate and a woodland mushroom discovery.

What do you want to learn?

At Mossy Creek Mushrooms, we can dig into agar and liquid culture techniques, mushroom breeding, bioprospecting, and maintaining a strain library, including archiving cultures and long-term storage.

With Southeast Mushroom Supply, you can get hands-on with spawn and ready-to-fruit block production and see how the lab work connects to commercial cultivation.

We can also explore what happens after the mushrooms are harvested, including how we put spent substrate to use in the plant nursery.

Bring the questions you’ve been working through. This is a chance to work through them with people who do this professionally, see the methods in practice, and build skills you can take back to your own work.
