The 2025 Mushroom scholarship fund recipients
The Hort Innovation Mushroom Fund Scholarship Program, delivered by the AMGA, is opening doors for the development of knowledge in mushroom production. Backed by the industry’s R&D levy, this international education initiative gives Australian Agaricus mushroom growers and compost producers the chance to dive deeper into critical topics, learn from global expertise, and bring those insights home to strengthen the entire industry.
In 2025, the scholarships will provide six recipients with partial funding support to participate in the Mushroom Compost Masterclass. Facilitated by Mark den Ouden from the Mushroom Office, the masterclass is comprised of self-paced online learning modules followed by a five day intensive study tour in Europe.
