Practical mushroom production training for farmers, youth, and women in Karamoja. Access quality spawn, set up your mushroom garden, and start earning from your first harvest.
Mushroom production is open to anyone with space, patience, and the willingness to learn. Our programs are designed especially for these groups.
Add mushroom production to your farm and diversify your income. No land required — mushrooms grow in small, shaded spaces.

Everything you need to know before you start.
No. Mushroom gardens can be kept in a small shaded room, under a shelf, or in a corner of your house. All you need is a clean space with good airflow and a way to keep humidity up — a simple plastic-lined corner works.
If you start from spawn and substrate, colonization takes about 14–21 days, then the first mushrooms appear within 3–7 days after that. From a ready-made garden, you'll typically see your first harvest within 5–14 days of receiving it, depending on conditions.
Yield depends on the substrate size and care, but a healthy oyster mushroom garden can produce multiple flushes over 2–3 months. At current market prices in Uganda, a single well-managed garden can return several times the cost of the garden itself.
We help connect growers to buyers — restaurants, retailers, and households — and we can buy from trained growers when we have demand we can't cover ourselves. Talk to us on WhatsApp to discuss market support.
Our training takes place at our site in Moroto, Uganda. We also run group sessions for cooperatives, youth groups, and women's groups. Contact us on WhatsApp to arrange a session for your group.
Fees vary depending on the length and depth of the training. Reach out to us on WhatsApp for current rates and upcoming session dates. Group sessions are often more affordable per person.
