Education and research at the MLMRU

The Marsh Lawson Mushroom Research Unit (MLMRU) and its activities are funded through the Hort Innovation Project Marsh Lawson Mushroom Research Centre of Excellence (MU21004). The unit is co-owned by the Australian Mushroom Growers Association (AMGA) and The University of Sydney. Applied Horticultural Research assists with managing the unit.

Based at The University of Sydney, the MLMRU plays an important role in teaching horticulture students about mushroom production and research and providing a space for Honours, Masters and PhD students to conduct research. This video covers some of the work done by Dr Meghann Thai in educating university students about mushrooms and the work done in the unit by PhD candidate Samali Perera.
