Making serious mycology education open to anyone, anywhere
Fungaris exists so that people who want to work with fungi can learn from those who already do, live and online, without having to move to the few places where this knowledge is usually taught.
Why Fungaris exists
Fungi sit at the centre of some of the most interesting work happening today: food production, materials, soil health, remediation, biotechnology, ecology and even computing. Yet structured, practical training in mycology is still scarce and scattered. Much of what practitioners know is learnt informally, in labs, on farms or in workshops that most people cannot easily reach.
Fungaris – International Institute of Mycology was created to close that gap. We organise the field into 12 schools and 504 programmes, from short courses to full professional programmes, and we teach them live online with professionals who work in each area. Our aim is simple: give learners a clear path from curiosity to competence, and connect the many disciplines that touch fungi.
What we value
These principles shape every programme, every module and every decision about how we teach.
Honest about what we are
Fungaris is an international training institute, not a university. Our certificates are issued by Fungaris; accreditations are assessed according to the training completed and the local regulations of each country. We would rather tell you this clearly than let a title promise something it cannot deliver.
The same applies to content. When a topic sits on the frontier, such as fungal computing or certain uses of mycelium, we present it as frontier work: exciting, open, and not yet settled.
