About us
Founded in 1992 by a family of several generations of mushroom growers, the innovative Bio-Fungi group is one of the leading companies in the mushroom industry in East-Central Europe, involved in the production of mushroom raw materials and mushroom cultivation.
The group distributes more than 2,400 tons of mushroom raw materials and 110 to 120 tons of fresh mushrooms each week in Hungary and the surrounding countries.
Besides top-quality mushroom cultivation and raw material production, the Bio-Fungi group gives priority to encouraging mushroom consumption and promoting the use of different types of mushrooms in gastronomy.
What is the School Mushroom Programme?
In the framework of the School Mushroom Programme, we help to familiarise students with various types of cultivated mushrooms by delivering crates of phase 4 raw materials for growing.
In the case of button mushrooms, the boxes are best stored in a cooler spot (below 20°C), such as a cellar, although classrooms and corridors are also suitable, providing the boxes are watered more frequently.
To support the practical teaching, we have produced a series of posters that provide a clear and accessible introduction to mushroom cultivation, a short manual for teachers containing both theoretical and practical tasks, and a longer, playful workbook that can also be used in the teaching of nature studies, biology, or technology.
Awards
In 2021, the School Mushroom Programme won the Hungarian corporate social responsibility award CSR Hungary in the Junior category, and also earned a special award from Trade Magazin.
