At Afrifungi, we believe that fungi hold the keys to addressing some of humanity’s greatest challenges. Based in Orchards, Johannesburg, we are dedicated to advancing mushroom cultivation, education, and sustainable innovation. Through hands-on workshops, technical support, and collaborative projects, we empower individuals and communities to explore the transformative potential of fungi.
Our work is grounded in the belief that engaging with the fascinating world of fungi unlocks innovative possibilities for creating a more sustainable and balanced world. As global populations grow and environmental pressures increase, fungi offer nature-inspired solutions that work in harmony with the Earth’s ecosystems.
Whether you’re a curious beginner, a dedicated grower, or a changemaker striving for sustainability, Afrifungi is your partner in cultivating knowledge, growth, and impact.
At Afrifungi, our mission is to build a thriving and diverse community of mushroom cultivators, civic scientists, and myco-entrepreneurs. We believe in the power of fungi to create sustainable solutions for agriculture, environmental restoration, and innovative design.
By fostering collaboration, creativity, and shared learning, we develop practical, cutting-edge strategies to address critical challenges in sustainability, food security, and ecosystem health. Our hands-on workshops, specialised training, and tailored solutions equip individuals and communities to grow, innovate, and succeed.
The time is now. Fungi are driving sustainable solutions—from eco-friendly materials to ecosystem restoration. Join AfriFungi in harnessing their power to build a more resilient and sustainable future.
A global shift is happening, and fungi are at its core. Public awareness is growing, and with it comes a surge of innovation in sustainability, design, and regenerative agriculture. Citizen science projects, open-access research, and cross-disciplinary collaborations have brought fungi into the spotlight as essential players in creating a fossil-free, circular economy.
At Afrifungi, we are proud to be at the forefront of this movement. We believe that fungi offer a pathway to creating a sustainable future that respects planetary boundaries while driving constructive, nature-inspired solutions to global challenges.
Now more than ever, the world is recognising what we’ve always known: fungi are essential for building a regenerative future.
At Afrifungi, we’re more than educators—we’re community builders. We are dedicated to creating a space where mycologists, growers, educators, and sustainability advocates can connect, collaborate, and innovate.
Through technical support, mentorship, and knowledge sharing, we empower individuals to take ownership of their growing journeys. We believe that by working together, we can unlock new solutions and push the boundaries of what’s possible with fungi.
Whether you’re looking to grow mushrooms, restore degraded ecosystems, or develop sustainable products, Afrifungi is here to support your vision.
