Mushrooms in schools: Primary school education program reboot
This exciting new program is designed to educate the youngest generation – primary school students from kindergarten to Year six, about Australian Agaricus bisporus mushrooms.
Over the past few decades, the mushroom industry has invested heavily in nutrition education programs for consumers and health care professionals. Despite this, mushrooms are commonly categorised as a vegetable, including within our current Australian Dietary Guidelines.
There is therefore an opportunity to increase Australians’ understanding of, and appreciation for, mushrooms – starting with our youngest consumers.
