This course is not for complete beginners. We welcome attendees who may lack mushroom production experience, but we will not address basic questions. You should have at least a foundational understanding of mushroom cultivation on an industrial scale.
The course will be conducted in English and Polish.
Only white and brown button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). No other mushroom varieties will be discussed.
Yes. The course takes place entirely on a mushroom farm. We’ll move between the classroom and the growing rooms as needed. Typically, half the time is spent in theory, and half in practice.
No. The course starts from the point where ready-made compost is loaded into the growing rooms. Mycelium and compost production are not part of this program. However, there will be a special visit to KANIA Sp. z o.o. — the largest compost producer in Europe.
Group size is limited to a maximum of 15 participants.
No. You’ll receive a packet of materials, a notebook and pen, a lab coat, and personal protective equipment.
The course lasts 3 days, with sessions lasting 7–8 hours daily, depending on the group’s pace.
No. The focus is on growing technology. We do not cover economics, staffing, or regulatory topics.
Absolutely. We encourage questions and will do our best to provide relevant answers.
Yes, you’ll receive a UMDIS certificate of completion. While UMDIS is not an accredited institution, our certificates are proudly displayed by many successful farms.

Accommodation is not included. But we recommend Hotel Hesperus, where most participants stay.
