Working with Matt has been an unbelievably exciting and amazing experience. We have learnt so much and look forward to more guidance from him as he mentors us through our food garden adventure. We are so happy and grateful to have him share his experience and wisdom with us.

This was an extremely interesting introduction to fungi, learnt that fungi is pretty amazing... Was specially awesome to get practical experience in inoculating tree stump with mycelium to attempt to grow mushrooms...

Something I've looked into before and have wanted to try for sometime now. Was a really great experience, Matt and Sven are very knowledgable on the subject. The energy was infectious and the folks who joined on the day were a pleasure to meet.

Matt & Sven give an excellent overview + introduction to the world of mushrooms, and inoculating a tree stump for years of home-grown mushrooms is a really fun way to spend an afternoon.

Sven and Mathew were awesome facilitators sharing their experiences and knowledge in a way that we could understand and apply. Their love and excitement for the subject was also very clear.

This amazing course has demystified mushroom cultivation. I always though that growing mushrooms had to be a scientifically controlled process that could only be done with expensive equipment. This course teaches how to grow mushrooms with nature using basic tools and materials. I would highly recommend this to everyone.

Inspiring. Professional. Practical. Would love to collaborate at Pachamama outside Knyna, where plant medicine is our passion and edibles critical for a sustainable future.
