Blended Mushroom Course
You can complete the e-learning course at your own pace and time before attending the live training. This course introduces the basic concepts and processes involved in composting and mushroom growing, followed by questions to consolidate your learning. Immediate feedback is provided once you submit your answers.
During the live training, all participants start with the same foundational knowledge, allowing more time to address individual questions. This interactive setting not only benefits the individual participant but also enriches the learning experience through knowledge sharing between the trainer and other participants. Discussing the everyday practice at the composting facilities and mushroom farms of the participants helps bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, which is central to effective learning.
The course includes daily visits to mushroom growers, composting companies, and other suppliers, providing participants with the opportunity to directly observe, touch, and smell the real-world operations. This hands-on approach enhances understanding and application of the learned concepts in practical settings.

Mushroom growers or composters like you are kept busy with the daily running of your farm or compost yard. This blog offers you plenty of handy tips. Maybe some of the tips are familiar, or describe quite logical situations. But there may also be some situations you have never really thought about before.
Mushroom growing is not an exact science. To learn how you can see, understand and act to mushroom signals in the right way is an art. And this art can be mastered. The process of successful mushroom growing starts with a proper assessment of raw materials needed for optimal compost. When it comes to mushroom growing, it is the challenge that you react adequately to changing growth circumstances in order to achieve a good or even better growth result. ‘Mushroom Signals’ will show you how to put this into daily practice. Mushroom Signals is available in the English, Dutch, Chinese, Russian and Polish language.
