Mushroom Cultivation Courses Near Salzburg: Learn to Grow Your Own Mushrooms
Our mushroom cultivation courses take place on our organic farm in Schleedorf near Salzburg, close to the Bavarian border and easy to reach from Upper Austria, the Salzburg region and southern Germany. You learn how to grow edible mushrooms successfully: hands-on, sustainably and with real know-how you can use straight away.
Our coaching suits anyone who wants to go deeper, whether you are working towards self-sufficiency or planning your own small mushroom production.
Why take a mushroom cultivation course?
Growing mushrooms brings together sustainability, food production and biology in a unique way. To grow mushrooms yourself, you need a basic understanding of substrates, mycelium, climate and hygiene, and that is exactly what we teach. Step by step, you learn how mushrooms grow, what conditions they need and how to avoid the most common mistakes from the start.
What we offer in English
One-on-One Coaching: are you planning your own mushroom farm or do you have specific questions about your project? We focus on your situation: individually, efficiently and at your level of knowledge.
Company Tour: a tour of our organic mushroom farm in Schleedorf gives you first-hand insight into professional mushroom production, workflows and harvesting. Suitable for groups, school classes, anyone interested and teams.
Team Building: mushroom growing as a company event. Your team spends an unforgettable day on the farm, learns the basics of mushroom cultivation together and makes its own mushroom growing bag. An unusual team event for companies from Salzburg, Bavaria and Upper Austria.
What you learn in our courses
- The basics of mushroom biology and mycology
- Choosing and preparing suitable substrates (straw, wood, coffee grounds and more)
- Working with mycelium, grain spawn and inoculation dowels
- Growing champignons, oyster mushrooms and other popular varieties
- The best fruiting conditions: temperature, humidity and ventilation

- Planning a simple or larger mushroom production
Everything is taught hands-on and can be put into practice right away. You don’t go home with theory, but with real knowledge and usually with something you made yourself.
Why learn with Stoff’n?
Sebastian and Lisa built up Stoff’n Bio-Edelpilze in Schleedorf together and have been successfully growing edible and functional mushrooms on their farm for years. Our courses are based on this hands-on experience: no off-the-shelf theory, but real knowledge from a working farm. We value clear explanations, sustainable methods and realistic approaches you can continue on your own.
Easy to reach from Bavaria and Upper Austria
Our farm is in Schleedorf in the Flachgau region of Salzburg, about 25 minutes from the city of Salzburg, about 60 minutes from Rosenheim and about 90 minutes from Munich and Linz. There is plenty of parking.
