An institute shaped like a network.
Fungaris teaches the science, craft and business of fungi to people who want to work with them — farmers, chefs, engineers, designers, scientists and founders.
Our crest, our purpose.
The four quarters of the crest are the four things Fungaris does: the mushroom for cultivation, the microscope for science, the network for ecology and connection, and the open book for teaching. At the centre, a spore: where everything begins.
The motto, Per hyphas ad scientiam, means “through the hyphae, to knowledge”. The founder’s initials, V.S.P., crown the shield.
Fungi connect everything. So do our schools.
Mycelium links the soil, the forest and the food we eat. Fungaris is organised the same way: 12 schools that connect, so a student can start in one field and branch into others.
Where to begin.
Accreditations are assessed according to the training completed and the local regulations of each country.
