    Description

    We are a small scale low-tech mushroom farm.
    I got into mycology a while back and liked it so much that I decide to scale. I have been in Dahab for more than a decade, worked in accommodation and diving.
    I like living things, plants, animals mushrooms and of course people :) I gained experiences and knowledge that I would love to expand and to share.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a tourist town, meaning we have a multicultural crowd, however the local and native cultures are prevalent. We host social events and workshops that expose people to new ideas and experiences. Making connections and expanding horizons are nice things, we try to encourage that.
    Also there will be mycology specific and business knowledge to be shared.
