Academic structure

12 schools, one network of knowledge.

Each school covers one field of mycology. Students begin in one and branch into the others — from the farm to the kitchen, the laboratory, the studio and the market.

The Fungaris method

A syllabus can be found online. A teacher in the room cannot.

Every programme is taught live by a working professional, in a small group, and ends with a project you can show.

How live learning works

i.A live professorMycologists, biologists, engineers and chefs who work in the field.
ii.A small groupQuestions in every session, and classmates from many countries.
iii.A real projectEach programme closes with applied work, reviewed by your professor.
iv.A certificateIssued by Fungaris on completion of the programme.
Per hyphas ad scientiam

Through the hyphae, to knowledge.

Our crest gathers the four things we teach: the mushroom that is cultivated, the microscope that studies it, the network that connects it and the book that passes it on.
