These are Poland’s top mushroom picking specialists. More than 60 courses have been conducted on this farm, 300 mushroom growers, foremen, collection department managers have passed through the trainers. They have been conducting trainings since 2008.

The venue is a mushroom farm near Wolsztyn, Poland (1.5 hours from Poznan).

The courses were designed for supervisers, heads of the harvesting department and picking managers, as well as for mushroom growers who want to learn how to organize their own work on the farm so as to have better yields, excellent mushroom quality and faster picking.

The courses were held on the basis of the existing production. Participants learned all about selective harvesting of mushrooms, a harvesting practice that maximizes yield and quality by applying a methodology that determines the correct sequence and period of harvesting.
